It's all over, the house contract fell through. The sticking point was the roof. The State Farm adjuster came on Friday and said the roof was fine, just needed some minor repairs. The roofing contractor turned around and said "oh, we'll fix it for free". Really? What is going on here? So, it came down to us saying the roof was fine and the buyers saying "you said you'd put a new roof on the house".
We had some really ugly days, including some down right rude emails from their realtor. In the end, Sam invited the buyer over to the house and they talked for a while. He would not budge on wanting a new roof since we could not guarantee it wouldn't fail next year or in 5 years time!!!! I think we all knew it would come to this, just didn't know what the final problem would be. No worries, we are surprisingly OK with all of this.
I just hope we can get another buyer before the kids have to start school again. I am going to call Brentwood to see if it's possible to pay for them to go there, but I don't think they have that option. It's worth a shot though.
Sam will talk to Karen and Dan, and then we will decide where to go from here.
