Escrow is to close tomorrow on our house. Yesterday we got a call from our realtor. The buyers did the final walk through and have come up with a whole list of things they want fixed. On the list is the smoke detector in the master bedroom. Hello, get a battery for it. Do they honestly think we are going to run up there and start fixing stupid things like that. We told the realtor to get real, and tell them a big NO. He then brings up that they can withhold $500 for repairs. I say…were not paying anything. If closing escrow comes down to batteries and a caulked sink then they can back out and we get their $500 earnest money anyway. It is not a time to get nit-picky 2 days before closing. If it was a issue they should have put it in when they made the offer. I’m venting.
Yesterday, I set up a studio in the back yard and did Serra~V’s 10 month photo shoot. She is a little under the weather and lasted about 5 minutes. I think we got some cute ones though. I will post them later.

good to see you all last night! I hope escrow closes nicely…sorry about the milking buyers. ~L
I didn’t even know that you guys had an offer, hope that it will all go through as planned!
I had no idea you had an offer either. Just send them some caulk & batteries in the mail. Maybe your parents-in-law could caulk the sink & put the batteries in for you. I know it’s “milking” but at the same time, it’s a sale of a house. Wouldn’t your rather suck it up & get it all taken care of?
funny how those two things would cost less then ten Dollars and 20 minutes time. People are lazy.
