When I hear all this talk of lawyers, I'm just wondering whether it's cheaper (considering the cost of attorneys and aggravation) just to spend the money on fixing the problem. In a lot of disputes, the lawyers are the only ones who benefit.
Like 'em or hate 'em, lawyers are sometimes necessary in specialized circumstances.
It's crazy I was suppose to close on a house 6/3/14 but there was a delay due to a permit the seller had to get...I was so disappointed so closing was rescheduled for 6/16/14. I did a finally walk threw and the basement had water and mole in it. I did this walk through solo my realtor gave me permission. The seller and her realtor try to say I did it by Turing on the water heater.... Really? So a few days later a plumber came in...their plumber to be exact and he said the water didn't come from the water heater.... And he can't pin point where it's coming from and that this basement has had an history with water problems. And yes I did get an inspection done .....biggest mistake using my realtors inspector.....smh...lesson learned..... So now that I want to back out I may lose 5,500 dollars Ernest money and title search......The house is in Bridgeport CT..... Let me back track it had rained for a week straight before I inspected the house on6/15/14.....people are just snakes
I'm sitting on the sellers side of a similar issue and current have had it up to here with wishes for the gold plated solution. When water and grading issues were found we readily agreed it needs to be taken care of at our expense. If we had realized it before the house was listed we would have dealt with it then. Now the buyer brings in his guy, supposivedly picked out of the yellow pages because he could show up quicky, who offers the ultimate solution in a hand written estimate given at the moment. We call in the water/drainage company who already did remediation work on our house in another place who six hours later emails us a detailed, with pictures, estimate of an alternate way to remedy the problem at a significantly less amount. The buyer was here when our company looked at our house and heard his solution. We later found out that the buyer and agent ambushed our agent out front with the buyer, male, in tears about how all we wanted was a cheap solution. No, we want a solution that will work and take care of the problem. Maybe it's a generational difference (we are retirees downsizing, they are young new parents first time home buyers) but we don't see the need to go for gold when a viable solution is available. Thanks to our realtor, it is being worked out, but the whole process is leaving such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't want to give one extra thing to them that's not in the contract.
You should also speak with your neighbors. They are little fountains of information as you build your case. Realtors are held to a higher standard when selling their own property. I am sure your attorney will help you.
