Do I need to answer a listing agent’s questions during the final walkthrough or at the closing?

Our closing is in about a couple of weeks and we have realized that our agent has miscommunicated what we want to the listing agent.

We had clearly told our agent that a few specific items, aka, junk, be removed from the basement and yards. It so turns out that our agent had miscommunicated to the listing agent a few additional items such as an old bathroom vanity and cabinets should also be removed. That is incorrect. I discovered this during a conversation with our agent and immediately told this person to make sure the other items are not removed. Too late. Our agent forwarded an email from the seller’s agent that whatever he had removed was based on our requests. That is a lie.

Our agent has goofed up. We have noticed this person is scatter-brained and yet because of a common acquaintance, we had gone ahead with her. It is too late to fire our agent. My SO is telling me those cabinets were old and we would have had to get rid of them anyway. I understand but what pisses me off is this was done without any explicit instructions from us.

The listing agent has emailed us directly, copying his attorney, that everything has been removed as per our requirements! We do not want to get into any dialog with him. We will meet this person during the final walkthrough and closing. If this person attempts to engage us in a debate, I am thinking of saying I prefer to have our attorney present and avoid any conversation.

Any advice?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
