PM me your number.

We accepted an offer on the lake house and got our asking price. At least til the home inspection, heh. Sounds like the buyers have been looking for the right place for a couple years, and this is the one for them, so that could give us some leverage on what they’ll probably want knocked off for a new roof and siding.

Found water on the floor of the utility room this morning, buyer home inspection happening now. Not great timing!

My ring camera tells me they’re sitting on the deck taking in the lake view though. Appears they have family there as well.

Got their ass.

i fking found water in my basement 2 days ago and was mortified

traced it to an overflow from a washing machine upstairs

was livid for a 30 minute period

spent like $12k on a french drain / sump pump when i first moved in was like 'no fking way'

Damn, our lakehouse buyers backed out. Too many material issues with the property. Surprised they didn’t just ask for some money knocked off. Our agent is going to reach out and see if there is anything within reason that would change their stance.

ooof, what a pain in the ass. Was the inspection report brutal or just random things?

Our buyer wants us to re caulk the shower. I suppose we can make that happen. Though im not sure it actually needs to be re caulked. inspector just pointed it out and said if it can't be cleaned, it should be re caulked.

I’m sorry for your loss.

We hadn’t even heard back about the inspection yet. They wanted to bring in an engineer today, which doesn’t work for us, so we offered tomorrow or Saturday (still within the attorney review window etc), they responded the engineer wasn’t available then and canceled a couple hours later. Surprised they didn’t just find another engineer.

We’re going to let them know we are fine with offering more time to inspect, but not optimistic that changes anything. I guess they had planned to bring a few more pros to check things out too.

It's a used house, people. GET OVER IT.

Seriously. Tell them to buy it then they can call Maine Cabin Masters to fix it up. Or Michigan Cabin Masters, I guess.
