You should be able to demand a walk through immediately prior to closing to establish that all the promised work has been done. It should be very clear that you are ready willing and able to close as scheduled, IF they have completed the repairs. If they haven't done the repairs you can agree upon an amount to deduct from the purchase price to do the repairs yourself.

Also, real estate stuff very stressful.

One of the repairs I don't know if I could spot being finished. Are we permitted to ask for documentation (a plumber's invoice, for example) proving the work has been done?

Will we need to reschedule the closing until we can get estimates for the work?

See this is shit I WISH MY FUCKING REALTOR, making 8 grand or so off this, would tell us.

I just want to cry.

Ah well. I have an appointment with a psychopharm tomorrow. I suspect he'll chalk my anxiety up to the house thing and charge me $150 for jack fucking shit.

If it was listed in as work to be done prior to sale, the other side is required to produce that documentation, I believe.

If you're not doing a walk through I would think that you can request that documentation on the required repairs is brought to closing. Then be prepared to walk out / reschedule if they don't produce. Ugh. I don't ever want ot move again, except that I will anyway.

Happy Birthday, Plei!

Just got home from Father's Day stuff. Love my dad. Am far more ambivalent about the sibs after a while.

Hanging out with my neice more than makes up for her parents though.

She has made up a hand movement (palms down, one hand on top of the other, thumbs waggling like flippers) for awkward moments. It's the Awkward Turtle.

Also? I feel like I got hit by a Mack truck. Riding a horse after twenty years off, FG... The next day, FPainful. Getting tossed off said horse did not really help.

Nora, I hope the closing goes smoothly. I can't wait to hear that you've turned that house into a home.

A very Happy Birthday to Plei! I think that Perkins and I could be convinced to keep an eye on Lilycakes while you and your hubby went to see Batman next weekend. We've got experience x7 with nieces and nephews and are very willing.

Happy Father's Day to everyone who is one or has one.

And, I'm off again...

Ack! I meant to say I hope the house closing goes well and smoothly (after what sounds like far too much stress) for you, Nora.

I want to marry this and have its babies.

Nora, I've had 6 closings to date and every single time when it was a couple days before it seemed impossible that it was going to happen because of various hold ups. Total stress, sure it was falling apart. Then every single time we have managed to close on the scheduled date. This last time I was relaxed enough to convince myself we would close on time despite DH asking me every couple hours if it would happen. And it did.

I'm very much looking forward to tossing virtual confetti when you report that your closing is a done deal. Massive amounts of closing~ma to you.

I've bought three houses and sold two. In every case there were times when I would have cheerfully beaten the sellers/buyers and both real estate agents into a sticky paste. It's just a process that's full of emotion, Nora. If the improvements were part of the contract, they have prove they did them before you close. Just sic your attorney on their attorney.
