Stupid Home Buyers
 

It's difficult to find a word stronger than hate. Maybe loathe, disgust, detest, despise? I don't know but this is how I feel toward stupid home buyers. I blame them for this mess because at the end of the day, they signed the papers and screwed over good honest people.

Right now I'm selling my home. A very nice large home in excellent condition with an amazing view for 1/4mi, new real wood floors, and a bathroom larger than most peoples bedrooms. It's soo nice in fact that it sold in less than a month while other homes in the area have been on the market for over a year. After lowballing me and finally getting closer to reality the buyer is trying to bleed me to death with a new roof and AC. The roof has 6-8 years on it and the AC's, although old are in good shape with 4-5 years of life left. He's already getting a great deal and I even came down more so he could get approved! What is wrong with people. I guess the honorable or accepted thing to do these days is to act like a complete penis pump until somebody caves in. Screw him, ain't gonna happen. You just wasted $1,000 inspecting my home thanks.

"penis pump" hahahahahaha... thats one you dont hear every day.

beastie,what side of town are you on? north, right?

OPPPS... Accidental Mod Edit....

If you're not in a rush to sell this can work but it depends on what's the carrying price on the house and what you're trying to achieve. Just remember that chance are any equity you receive will have already have the taxes paid on that and if you had to save the money, you would have to pay the state, federal, and FICA.

SkyM - how's it going. Sorry for the rant lol! I'm about an 8th of an inch from telling this guy, sure no problem, and I'll install a wheel chair ramp your going to need if you ever step foot in my house again.

Tell him the wife and kids come with the house. That should do it for him. ;)

Ha haa! If I told my wife that joke I'd really need the ramp. I'm kinda hoping he walks away, I think I can get a little more but I doubt he will. I think he's just doing what his Dad is telling him since he's the one fronting the DP.

And I went to all the trouble to try and sound intelligent...:doh:

Two words..."As Is"

Your right, I guess I'm naive about making things crystal clear, it's my first one. Won't happen again. Tearing off a perfectly good roof with 6+ yrs? Who does that. I wouldn't even ask if I was buying a home.

I had a good response to that, but my post was edited by the evil mod. :doh:

naw man, DONT be sorry for a rant here. Have you seen my posts about Houston traffic enforcement?

rant away--- tell it like it is! hell yeah!

I'm like SkyMike, don't worry about the rant. That's what your BNG family is for...right? To help you work through your problems. Just ask Dasidreidia, or Alaska Saint. Besides, I'm posting all my Mudbugs stuff on here, no one has complained about that yet (at least not to me!). LOL

:bng:

not a good example. lol. I think he'll be seeking private therapy in lieu of online, in the future. poor guy. FF is a snag to mental health.

He got my message of no roof and replied back asking for half. This guy is so bluffing. He's already visited the house 4-5 times with all kinds of family members..aunts,grandma, daddy .That right there says he's he's emotionally attached and all he has to to is go on truila and see I've had over 300 hits in a 5 weeks.

And Mike, I give excellent advice. :doh:

Those are postitive closing signs. You need to do what's called a "take away close". Always keep your realtor insecure about the sale. Never let her know your real feelings. At this point I'd totally try to back out the deal and watch them all sweat. The purchaser's wife would kill him if he let $10,000 make or break the deal. Trust me on that on. They've mentally bought.

You can always try the "Panera Bread Close" ... if that does not work, you can always show them this thread.:bng:

Thanks for all the excellent advice. Foreverfan, I called my hotshot investment banker brother in law and he said the same thing.

Lol! This guy will not give up. Now he wants 1/4 of the cost. Seriously? First he said no deal unless I included a roof, then 1/2, and now 1/4. Insanity.

You can tell him like my mamma used to tell me...
"**** or get off the pot!".

Funny. Haven't heard that one in years. I'm just glad this is almost over. Thanks to you guys I called his bluff.

If anyone is selling soon one thing I learned is that if you turn the bathroom into one for a princess almost no woman can resist it. I hired a couple of good interior designers and gutted the whole thing. I did most of the work myself. I spent some money but it was well worth it not to have it sitting on the market for months on end.

is tht what they call it now? u huh huh... huh huh...
