Going thru emails one morning recently...one stood out from a Selling agent who we are working with on a short sale that will close in two weeks. She didn't think the "Sellers would mind...Since the Buyer is paying for the repair to the..." if it were done today...WHAT ?
Regardless if the house is right side up OR upside down...the Buyer doesn't own the house...and no...No repairs will be done before the ink is dry on the closing documents.
We have also had a manager call us to say that the Buyers could easily do the painting...the this and the that to the house before closing...WHAT? Are the Buyers insured contractors ? Are they knowledgable, experienced...licensed in the repair, replacement...Contracts are between buyer and seller and the Seller is unaware of their expertise in any field and owns the house !
Any repair, replacing or remodeling work done before closing will be by the Seller....and the contractors hired by the Seller. Any the Buyer would like done will be done after closing.
Playing by the rules is best....safest....and smartest....If you or anyone you know is looking for Realtors who know the rules and exercise good judgement in the practice of real estate...Call the Hansons...we are honored to be of service in all things real estate..
