[quote=Anonymous]Eek that does sound way way way over the top. Thank you for explaining in detail. Now I'm clear I'm not them - nowhere close. Yuck!

We had a fairly easy time with the price negotiations. We made what we thought was a reasonable offer but with a bit of a high closing cost credit. They countered with lower credit and all else same and we accepted. So no hard feelings built up there. Quick and easy. This is an old home (renovated though) in Bethesda. Inspection came back with issues (to be expected in a 100 yr old Victorian home), many sort of medium type things. No safety stuff or significant issues that would be deal breakers. Just some things to do that will cost some change in aggregate.

We are not thinking of nitpicking but rather just asking for a 10k credit. Won't cover all issues but all issues were not mandatory fixes or do it now jobs. No clue what the sellers will think of this of we proceed that way. But hopefully there won't be too much emotion bc it's all been business-like and quick and professional. Issue I guess is just do they have the $$, do they feel good about the sale price, do they have other offers, are they willing to start fresh etc. All things my husband and I don't know. But we thought it couldn't hurt to ask and that we were in the realm of reasonableness.[/quote]
