This Happened

The selling agent on the house I have in escrow told me something that turned into a game changer. Tomorrow, she was going on vacation--Maui, to be exact--and really wanted to get our inspection period over as soon as possible.

Well now, I am certainly happy to accommodate. How about in lieu of a few hundred dollars in repairs, we just reduce the purchase price several thousand dollars?

My clients are happy. They are getting a better price on the home and the paltry repairs will be done by a handyman. The sellers are happy. They don't have to figure out what gizmos and widgets will run them to make the same repairs. The selling agent is happy, she will be by the beach this time tomorrow. I am happy. I have something to write about. All is good.
