Re: Please tell me I'm being silly - buyers asking for things
Posted by Century 21 Dallow - Christine Braun
I feel like my words are falling on deaf ears, but before the OP gives up or tries to "trick" the buyers by switching out the chandelier, TRY TO WORK IT OUT.
I do this type of stuff all the time, every day. 9 times out of 10, it can be worked out. I've sold many, many homes (both working with sellers and buyers).
It's better to fully communicate and really try to amicably work things out before going crazy.
Who needs the stress of a potential problem during the final walk through at closing about whether they will remember a chandelier? It's ALWAYS better to be upfront, trust me.
It sounds to me that the OP forgot to mention she wanted the chandelier, her attorney tried to strike it from the contract, the other attorney said the buyers want it, and that's it. A lot of times the attorneys strictly email and send the contract back and forth, but there's not a whole lot of conversation. It's very cut and dried for them (and again, I'm not being negative about the attorneys, I am one, but it's really more the agents' job to work this stuff out... the attorney hasn't seen the house, the chandelier, hasn't been privy to how the prior negotiations unfolded).
There may have been not talk of sentimental value, and perhaps not all alternatives were fully explored.
This is the last I'll say on it. But my advice is solid! lol
This makes the most sense. It's coming from an experienced broker. I'd take her advice.

Honestly I would just let it go at this point. Maybe your parents will be you a new one for your new home!
Also I would not be accommodating at this point through, no walk through until closing.
