[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For this sort of thing just write a check for like $150 at closing. [/quote]

$150  :lol:  :lol:

that doesn't being to pay for the fridge issue.  As the buyer i would demand the value of a new fridge, it's clear the current one is past it's life expectancy.

OP write a check for $500.[/quote]

[b]Its 4 years old![/b][/quote]

The age of the fridge makes no difference! OP didn't disclose the issue with the fridge!! Therefore as the buyer I would demand the full replacement price for a new like-kind fridge.  Why is this a hard concept to grasp, especially in this market![/quote]

😂 You don’t seem to grasp what “this market” actually means.  As the buyer you can demand the full replacement price, and the seller can laugh in your newbie face and turn around and sell to one of the dozen other offers she has. I guarantee none of them will bat an eye at a broken icemaker.

Wait, are you the buyer who thinks it’s a grievous insult for someone to put their property on the market with a 10-year-old kitchen?[/quote]

If the issue were disclosed, yes.  But here, the buyer is entitled to expect a working refrigerator (it's not that hard to spell, people), including an ice maker.  That's what was represented was for sale.  The seller can't just throw $100 at then and expect the issue to go away - she has to (i) fix it before closing), (ii) pay the realistic cost for the repair, or (iii) replace the fridge.

Were I the buyer, I would say let's keep $2000 in escrow after closing.  The seller can pay for repairs, but if they don't work in __ period of time, the $2000 will be used to purchase a new unit.  [/quote]
