[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly asking for a friend here - put a contract on a house and scheduled to close next week. There was a list of work to be done, and while most of it is "done", some of it is VERY shoddy. EMD is $5500, which friend really doesn't want to lose, but they also don't want to have to pay to get all of this work redone. Their agent SUCKS (didn't fully read the work to be done and ok'd it, and it didn't include several things that they had discussed the seller needing to do). Is there any recourse? Things that look bad to me are paint that doesn't cover drywall patches (as in, you can see the crack, and the patch through the paint, to the point where I'm not even sure they painted). Holes in the drywall. Drywall that is "wavy" (but was supposedly patched). Missing baseboards on walls that were supposed to be patched and have baseboards fixed.[/quote]

If they like the house and its not overpriced,  take the bullet but do aak broker to mediate. That being said, buyers do lose good options due to cold feet and end up buying homes with similar or higher legel of problems. [/quote]
