I think they closed. And, if so, thank your lucky stars.

Thanks, Phyllis! This experience has been a lot more than I bargained for. But I can certainly say that I have learned a lot from it.

The contingency removal is basically what puts the buyer’s deposit at risk.

Buyers don’t want to remove contingencies because their deposit is now at risk if they don’t close escrow. Generally buyers need to be coerced into it. I think the buyer’s agent is off having a good time and unfortunately your worries are not the buyer’s agent’s concern. But I do think this will all work out and you will close.

Stay positive!

Hmmm… sounds like they’re buying time, or maybe just making you squirm in exchange for not doing the flashing.

Unfortunately the buyers are in the drivers seat; forcing the issue may just annoy them further and cause them to cancel. On the other if they do cancel I don’t think it will have been about the flashing per se, just uneasiness on their part about buying the house (maybe it’s at the upper end of their budget?) and a belief that there will be plenty of other properties to choose from.

I really hope it works out for you.
