[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone else reading this looking for advice in the future, no custom changes should be made unless the requester pays for it.

When we bought our new build, we paid directly for our customizations (fixtures, moving wall etc) and all of those costs were deducted from final price. Had we reneged on the deal, we would have lost those payments and the seller/builder could havejust sold the home for a reduced price (or used the payment to put in more tradtional fixtures).

This. You're the owner, not this other party. She wasn't the buyer, just someone who claimed she was interested in becoming a buyer. I'm sorry because it sounds like she was telling you it's a done deal. For the future, nothing's a done deal until you have a contract. Don't put your own money into anything on the assumption that someone will stick to a verbal agreement.

It's a tough time to sell. It might be better to wait a few weeks and see how everything shakes out. Take care and I hope it works out for you.[/quote]
