Are we being reasonable?

We put an offer in for a house asking $525k (nc), we offered $515k and the sellers came back with $520k, we agreed asking for 0 closing costs. Our realtor at the time said this would be best for our offer to be accepted as we have lost out of 4 other homes already. She assured us we could negotiate for this later on. Now we are in the process of negotiating and found there are trusses in the attic that need to be fixed and the ac will need to be replaced. The sellers agreed to take care of the trusses. We are asking for $13k in concessions to cover the cost of the ac and some of the closing costs. The sellers are agreeable to $9600. We really want that much for repairs, + extra for closing costs. Is that reasonable? Our realtor seems to this it isn’t considering the market and the home being in such good shape for a 20 year old home.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
