People never cease to confuse the hell out of me...

So the seller says "I don't wanna fix it because of liability." 😳 Its like what now? You realize the house could burn like right now with the electrical issues it has right? 🤦‍♀️

It's a legal loophole. As long as it's been sold/about to be sold/is technically managed by a realtor, they're free from liability (state laws vary). If they agree to fix it, then technically they accept that liability again.

@raysam363 there are some major issues, and our realtor informed theirs that we gonna walk if they ain't going to get shit done. I am already looking at other homes at this point.

@Snowvixen For the best. Even major issues have temporary bandaid fixes that get it past inspection.

@raysam363 True. True.

I’d be walking for sure. How can they have a gas leak without having service shut off? And the same with the electric.

@Snowvixen Here you need permits, plans have to be approved and work done by a certified contractor.

@SageWanderer Its in rural Tennessee, apparently those rules do not apply.

@Snowvixen I guess not and I’m glad you protected yourself by getting an inspector!

tell him to knock 2500 off selling price

Snowvixen

@MasterLee The electrical quote alone was that much, you add on excavation of the crawl space that has a bit of mold you already at 7500 minimum. Its sad really.

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Snowvixen oh I meant 2500 above that. Liability and nuisance fee.

I'd walk away from that house if you still can.it doesnt sound good at all.

Time to walk away i think

Snowvixen

@Picklebobble2 Our realtor contacted their's and let them know if they don't do shit we walking, then they have to put sold as is... which right now would hurt them since they buildin a new house.

@Snowvixen Right now it's a buyers market out there. There'll be other places. 🙂

Snowvixen

@Picklebobble2 Yeah, I am looking at a few others that I like. Unfortunately though the area I am looking its more like the sellers market. Houses being snatched up quickly.
