We, at www.Your2Agents.com have a rule. When we are doing a net sheet for buyers and sellers, we have a line we call the "A-Line". I trust, that we in Bellingham, WA, aren't the only agents who have problematic buyers and sellers.
The "A-Line" is usually for $500. This is the amount of money that we tell our clients to have available for the "Agitation", "Annoyance" or "A**hole" (rhymes with Basspole J) factor. There have been dozens & dozens of times throughout our careers in Bellingham, WA that an issue will come up and we will remind our clients about the "A-Line" fee.
Usually this reminder will come up after the inspection. The seller won't service the furnace or fix the grouting or caulking. The buyer is adamant that the porch swing stays...whatever it is. Sometimes, it will be the ‘non-disclosed' item. A light fixture, extra garage door clicker, valance or plant, that gets taken come to mind.
We have bought and or SOLD almost 20 pieces of properties in Whatcom County, WA We have empathy for all of our clients...We Get It! But sometimes there will be an issue and if your clients are prepared, albeit disappointed, it will be slightly easier to sallow. Happy Selling!
