When the seller purchased the property three years ago, she paid $7,000 for foundation repairs. At that time, she was advised that adjustments might be needed every few years to continue leveling the home. The seller also provided photos of the home being relocated from the 1600 block, though no specific address was ever provided to her. The seller was informed there was a warranty at the time of purchase but never received documentation. The only warranty applicable to this property was from the shingle manufacturer, and the seller was not aware of this distinction prior to listing. A thorough and detailed Seller’s Disclosure was provided, and no information was concealed from the buyer. In negotiations, the seller accepted an offer $20,000 below list price, then reduced the price an additional $2,500 to assist with repairs. The seller also negotiated the inclusion of a new $6,000 shed and a $1,500 stove for the buyer. The buyer exercised her option period, obtained inspections, and elected not to hire specialists for items noted by the inspector. She also waited until after the option period expired to obtain a termite inspection, which led to lender-required pretreatment costs. Following closing, the buyer hired a foundation specialist and began sending ongoing threats to the seller via email. Brokers became involved, and a police report was filed. As a licensed professional with over 10 years of experience, I uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity. I would never allow a seller to conceal known defects. In this case, the seller made extensive repairs within the past three years and went above and beyond in negotiations to ensure the buyer received a fair deal. Ultimately, the buyer purchased a solid home with numerous updates at a favorable price.
