[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm not sure your agent is giving you great advice.[/b]  There are certain things which should be fixed and covered by the sellers.

The regrading of the property:  I think that's a big wish list item and I'm betting it's the big ticket item on your list.  I would balk to if I were the seller.   FYI -- I've never done a home inspection where the home inspector didn't mention grading as something which should be done at some point in the future.  It's never been a deal breaker, it's more along the lines of this is something you should do to maintain your home.

Is the roof not being done going to impact your ability to get house insurance?  If no, then this might be something which needs to be dropped.

The HVAC:  should be repaired.  You are not asking for a new HVAC are you?

Are you first time homebuyers?

I think you need to ask yourself these questions:
* Do you want this house?  I mean really, really want it?  
* Do you have the money in reserves to handle the maintenance of the house on an ongoing basis?[/quote]

Out of curiosity, why would this advice be in the agent's interest if it's not in the buyer's best interest.  Seems like it may make the deal fall through.  Wouldn't the agent want to get the deal done unless the repair issues were pretty serious?[/quote]
