Day 275

And it's back to haggling again...
We got two quotes for the major repairs we want done on the house, which are about 1/3 of the total repairs found in the inspection.  One guy said it would cost $1500 the other said $2600... wtf?  We asked for $2600... hopefully Esther doesn't read my blog haha.  They countered with $1300... jerks.  We've already compromised on the price of the house when Esther refused to budge, and we are volunteering to cover the cost of all the minor repairs in the house.  Rick was not too happy about their counter.  So, we made it very clear to our realtor that we are really not willing to budge on these repair costs and if needed we will walk away... not sure how much of a bluff that is, but we know Esther has already started making plans, packing and possibly signed a lease so we're hoping she will feel like she has to work with us.

We on the other hand have done absolutely zero packing haha.  So, you just test Esther!  We'll walk away (maybe).
