Had an interesting evening last night. We got a call around 8:30 p from our realtor. The buyers, we'll call them Stupid and his wife Fearful, had just called and said they were going to need another $7000 credit because the aluminum wiring in the house was going to need to be fixed. This came after agreeing to our proposal for a $1000 credit to fix all the physical inspection items (which included the aluminum wiring). ARRRRRGGGG!!! It was also the night before the tent was to go on the house for the termite treatment (a $1875 procedure). ARRRRGGGG!!!
So we told our realtor "no dice", they're not getting the $7000. She called the termite company and told them to not do the tenting and called the buyers to let them know.
We killed the rest of the night in the jacuzzi and watching Mary Tyler Moore on Hulu.
This morning we got a call around 10:15 (8:15 CA time). Stupid and Fearful have agreed they don't need the $7000, we're back on. The realtor will try to get the termite company to still do their thing.
Annoying!!!
I think that what happened is that Stupid, and his wife Fearful, started reading about aluminum wiring and didn't really understand what it is or what it meant, and freaked out a bit. Aluminum wiring was used all across SoCal and there has been really no problems. Whatever, we're good.
I just got off the phone with the realtor and the tenting for termites is on, and we're good to go!
A crazy night and morning.
