[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walked away from a house we were due to close on within an hour, after we realized that the seller has switched the stainless kitchen appliances with appliances that didn't match the kitchen color scheme. Our contract stipulated that all stainless steel appliances were to convey as well as other items within the house.

Imagine his surprise and that of his wife, when we sat down at closing and told them the deal was off due to the breach of contract. The sellers were closing on this house on Friday after having closed on their new house the day before. The wife was livid, calling us all the names in the book, and screaming that we were out to ruin their life. She claimed she didn't know that the items were removed from the house, but was willing to have them returned that afternoon. We kindly declined and kept walking.

Our agent provided the list of items that were missing. Turns out we only saw the missing kitchen appliances before calling breach of contract and walking away from the deal. Our agent insisted that we go to closing to confront the sellers personally as our agent had compiled a comprehensive list of all the items that had been removed that should have conveyed;
- Central vacuum main unit
- Toto bathroom fixtures
- swapped the hardwood interior doors for hollow builders grade junk and flimsy hardware
- removed the plantation shutters
- removed washer and dryer

Within a week of this debacle, our agent found us a much nicer house with a retired couple that was a joy to deal with.

Unreal. They were dishonest and thieves, and I think you're very fortunate to not have closed because possibly problem issues were not disclosed by them. [/quote]
