A realtor purchased our home. Do not recommend. Here are some of the wacko things we had to do so the house we purchased didn’t fall through.

Our house sold the 2nd day it was on the market after 3 counter offers. Buyer asked our agent what was most important to us, he said a quick close, she offered full list price ($399,900) and we accepted.

She verbally told our agent “I won’t nickel and dime them.” That was a lie.

She assured him she’d be able to close on time, obv on the date written in the purchase agreement. Also a lie.

We FINALLY close on Monday, 13 days after the original close date. We’re almost at the finish line but I just wanted to share some of the things we had to do in order to not lose the house we’re purchasing. Its purchase was contingent on the sale of our home.

-buyer’s son is an HVAC guy, came to the inspection, insisted our AC was leaking We pay HVAC guy to come out, he confirms it is NOT leaking, works at full capacity, etc. There was one small repair for $300 which we paid and submitted his report to buyer. Buyer doesn’t like the company we chose, insists it is leaking, and will only accept specific company to come out instead and do like a full, lengthy assessment. They do, find no issues, we paid $700 for that.

-we have a pool. Buyer wants us to not only pay to have the pool company of her choice look at it but also for us to pay to have the pool closed for her AND for us to provide her typed instructions on HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A POOL?! So my husband typed her up a word doc?! Lol

-she asked for all of our outdoor furniture, umbrellas, pool floats, storage containers, pillows and decor items, flowerpots

-from inside the house she asked for our barstools, curtains, doorbell camera, washer and dryer

-the other repairs we had to provide estimates and funds held by title include shingle repair, crawl space inspection, masonry work (which we disclosed AS IS and we have to give her $3500 for repairs now), electrician (for $35), holy fuck.

We had to pay and set up all estimates and appointments in like a week’s time bc she refused us just bringing cash to close to cover the full cost of her asks.

I’m sorry rant over but she makes my blood boil.

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...
