So are they. And the closer you get to closing, their nuts are just as much in a bind as yours - I was working, and subsequently getting worked, on both ends of this when I moved last, just depends which way its going depending on the market.
Getting $5k at closing, if you're happy with it, is a really reasonable take in a hot market for a known and serious defect that will flood your house if left unattended. Just take a step back, be clear about what you want, and present it in writing on the contract. Fuck negotiationg through texts on a house.
Haha I had that same exact thought. After everything came in from the appraisal and bug report I was going to write it all out, really break it down and have the realtor just send it. One last offer, no more middlemen, just buyer to seller.
But I gave myself some time to step back, idk if I can really handle this falling through on a mental level. Just opens so many more issues to handle. I got a buyer ready to move-in, a truck scheduled, loaders and unloaders hired, my dad taking time off to help drive down. ... am I really going to piss that away over an amount that equals one week of my take-home pay? Worse case scenario looks like one of these pipes leaking into a 4-5ft crawlspace and Statefarm footing the bill for the re-pipe. I'm a glutton for punishment but I have to draw the line at some point, I'm definitely cracking a bit. I was legitimately screaming in-between text exchanges with the last realtor, this one is at least good at her job and legitimately interested in making sure I'm ultimately happy.
