Realty HELL
What the fuck is wrong with people??!??! We make a deal to sell our house... the assholes try to grind and grind on the price... finally they come back at $1000 below what we tell them is our bottom dollar.... we tell them to fuck off so they come back and say okay and accept our price (like they didnt believe we meant it)...... now they are about to remove their subjects (1 week later)... we disclose to them right upfront that the house needs a roof... that's why we come down in price... they know this... so now at the 11th hour they come back and ask for 3K more off the price cuz it needs a roof... fuck them and the rest of them ... we DONT have to sell... I will live in my fuckin house very happily thank you... what dickheads... if these morons think that they have done something smart, they can think again... they will have to deal with so much shit when we move their heads will spin.... I am gonna strip this house to the walls...
fuck them....
stress me out for no fucking reason...
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I know exactly how your feeling fish. Just over a year ago I sold my place and this buyer tries to really lowball on the first offer with all of these outrageous subjects to which I said "F off! thats ridiculas" She keeps coming back a little better for about 3 more times and I just about caved in. Then out of the blue a new buyer appears and offers the asking price! Sold!
Hang in and it will work it's self out!

I know your pain. I generally associate realtors with used car salesmen (and women!)
Even a "so called" friend that is a realtor is always trying to cram deals down my throat!
I would simply state in anymore negotiations that every day that goes by, the price goes up $50! Remind them a house is an *appreciating asset*, regardless of minor details like a roof.
Where I live right now, anything priced in the $200k range, sells like water on a hot day! I cant find a bigger place for my family because of the speed in which transactions are conducted! Hold firm at your price!!

Tell me about it!
I just sold one property on an FHA program. Talk about jumping through hoops. I was about a nanometer away from telling the people to go get a conventional loan. Now I'm in negotiations with some chiselers like Fish experienced. I don't take it too personally but my wife gets pissed. The latest fiasco around here is mold tests and radon tests.

Well.... the assholes took the deal down to the last minute, then bailed out... what dicks.... they wanted 3K off... so the 2 realtors got together and told them that they would give the guy 2K out of their commisions... that wasnt enough for the guy so he walked over $1000 ... on top of that he bitched that he didnt like the fact that I wouldnt let him get any more estimates etc etc on the house.... like I am gonna sit there and let him get estimate after estimate after estmiate so that he can play his little game with me! right!!
what a moron... we know he will come crawling back.... he has all of his eggs in one baset, and that basket is our house... when he comes back the terms will have all changed... the deal will be WAY worse than it was yesterday...
this guy is an idiot. He rents , we own... he has fuck all and is trying to get into the market... he apparently has no idea that we dont HAVE to sell.. that we simply dont give a shit. He can fuck off and die as far as I am concerned.. fer the amount of stress this chump just put us through... I dont want him to have my house.
so fuck him....
and the shitty part is that these realtors really did do a lot of work.... he just fucked over about 8 people.... now none of them get paid fr their werk.
what an ass.
the guy is bickering over what amounts to $1 a month in his mortgage payment.
pathetic and very very shortsighted.

Fish,
I have the same problem, I want to sell my house, I don't have to but I think I want to buy in a better school dist. Anyway my house needed a roof as well. The way I looked at it was like this, I put a new roof on the house. (complete tearoff and plywood over the laths to bring it up to code. I have a 1916 victorian). I spent $8,500.00 but now I'm asking $12,000.00 more for my house then I was gonna ask, and I will get it. I just made approx.$3,500.00 on the deal (depending on the final sale price) and if I decide not to sell, well I have the new roof that I needed anyway. Tell your prospective buyers you will put a roof on the house but then the price goes up! If you plan on telling them to fuck off and not sell, your gonna need one anyway. win win situation.
With a roof that needs replacing the prospective buyers look at it as a way to lower the price, with a "new" roof you are back in the drivers seat and can use it as a sales pitch.
