I recently had a showing for a house I co-own. I'd gotten a new roof, a new garage, new doors, new floors and overseen a wonderful rehab of this old house.
When I took the prospect on the tour, she was stoic as I listed the many upgrades to this house, that was once considered condemned.
Then, we went to the basement and there was a creak in the corner of a floor.
Suddenly, she went off. She said the creak was an indication of some structural issues. She went on a harangue about it and wanted the price dramatically slashed.
I viewed this as an excuse and a red herring. She looked at me with her demands and I merely reasoned that it was something minor. But, she was still on a tear and made her offer, which was ridiculous.
I thanked her and wished her well.
I will look into the creak but I won't let a small creak cost me tens of thousands of dollars.
I ain't crazy!
