Nothing in that addendum legally compels the seller to fix anything
unless he wants to complete the sale. If the seller wants out, all
he
has to do is... NOTHING. He cannot be forced to fix so much as a
dripping faucet if he decides he doesn't want to complete the sale.


Good grief, now I have to explain what an addendum is. No, I won't be
a
teacher here. Read the top, let it soak in. Then read the entire
addendum,
not what you just want to read. Maybe pay particular attention to
item
6,
now you have to know what REPC is, well I do, and you apparently do
not.

The didn't start fixing stuff on their own, obviously after going
through
offers/counter offers, then acceptance, they started their painting.

I don't know **** about FHA, haven't read the links, and don't want to,
but until someone says why the seller can't just *walk away from the
sale,* I'm going to have to side with the salted dog here.

Did the seller actually sign something that says he *WILL* fix the
paint
issue, or did he only sign something that says he *WILL* fix the paint
issue *IF* he wants the sale to close? There's a world of difference
between the two.

What if the alleged problem can't reasonably be fixed? Does the seller
go to jail? I don't think so!

The OP's problem can't be fixed because the inspector refuses to tell
him what needs fixing until an envelope with cash is left where
instructed.

The seller can simply refuse to go along with requests made by the
buyer.

So far, the initial inspection said the paint had to be sealed. That
was done and now the inspector still won't pass it. I'd say that means
the seller made a good faith effort, and that can easily be the end of
the deal without any repercussions.

You are not aware of breach of contract? Nobody said the seller is going
to
jail. LOL. Good grief, what the heck are you smoking?



Sorry if I parted your hair in the middle. As I said, he can stop
trying to fix the bogus issues right now, and it will not be breach of
contract.


You didn't part my hair. In fact, as soon as you started saying walk away,
I had you pegged. Your attitude of shrug your shoulders and walk away, is a
big part of what's wrong with this country today. You're the kind, which
don't want any part of responsibility, and the attitude is sue me, clog the
courts.

Glad your colors came out early.





You become a bigger idiot (if that is possible) with every post.
Perhaps you should put down the shovel.
