[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We let the buyers into the house for the inspection. They attacked the HVAC with a hammer in the hopes that we would replace it for them. Our handyman put it back together the best he could. Later the buyers agent wanted a rebate on the HVAC -- hammer dents all over it. We said something to the effect of accept the hammer marks or let the contract lapse -- your call. Another buyer will come. They accepted. Later the BA "confessed" How odd. How hard to believe. But it happened. The buyer was stuck in the middle as he knew that we (seller) would be just as happy to keep the house. When is comes to real estate, anything can happen.[/quote]

WTF??  Was the BA part of this plan?  Where was this??

OP, I get where you're coming from (except for the "our realtor made us sell the house now").  I'd give the buyers an hour and make sure your agent accompanies them. Tell the buyers that after that you're going to be too busy dealing with the move, etc., and that they should make sure to get everything done in that one hour. Make sure your realtor tells them that most buyers don't make this kind of request and most sellers don't grant lots of access before closing, but you are granting this last request out of good will. You should also have your agent tell them about the nightstand drawers; that would have pissed me off. [/quote]
