Grading and drainage issue identified by structural engineer for home we are under contract. Engineer had gone to look at a crack as a follow up to home inspection. Very high moisture content measured in cinder block wall. Overall the issue can be remediated and we are willing to carefully move forward.

Sellers are livid that we would request anything as a credit for this. Their evidence is that they never had a problem. Additionally they seem to be angry this was identified period because the engineer was really looking at a crack which may be unrelated .

Pretty tense now. No advocacy from buyer agent. Would any buyer accept this type of thing and not ask for credit? They are acting like this is so unreasonable when our perspective is that it is a big potential problem. We are paying full asking.

is this normal? Our listing agent is sending us text screenshots from our buyers’ agent demanding that we tell them URGENTLY and IMMEDIATElY where we stand with details on our purchase negotiations. We accepted our buyers’ home sale contingency and now that they have closed we are getting bullying texts from their agent to demand we give them an answer. We are still working this through and things don’t move instantaneously. It is so out of line I think.

It’s like they are conspiring. They even tried to get us to close our sale to them and rent back from them even though we have encountered a structural/ water issue we still need to figure out for our purchase. Its outrageous!

Parents in their 80s announced they are driving from NJ to NC to attend my daughters graduation. My mother is unstoppable. She is feisty as ever if not more. They will not listen to common sense or our concerns about the risks. I cannot think of any way to stop them. So beyond frustrating. She laughs it off saying it will be an adventurous road trip.
