The other agent emailed at 9pm. Night before closing. Subject line just says "issue." That's it. One word. Sellers had already moved out, already in Arizona, already emotionally gone from this transaction for like two weeks. Buyers did their final walkthrough that afternoon and apparently the basement has three inches of water in it. Three inches. The sump pump failed sometime between the sellers leaving and the walkthrough, which was maybe six days. Here's where it gets good. The sellers' agent tells me his clients "thought they mentioned" the sump pump was "temperamental." They thought they mentioned it. To who? When? Because it's not in the disclosure, I can tell you that much. I have the disclosure in front of me right now. Nothing about water, nothing about the pump, nothing about the basement being anything other than dry and perfect. Buyers want $8,000 off the price. Sellers are offering $2,000 because they "weren't even there when it happened." Like that's a defense. Like the house stopped being their responsibility because they drove to Phoenix. My broker's asking me what the disclosure says. I know what the disclosure says. The disclosure says nothing. That's the whole problem. Remediation company already came out, quoted twelve thousand for full treatment because there's mold starting behind the drywall. Starting. It's been six days. The title company keeps calling me like I have answers. Closing was supposed to be at ten tomorrow morning. Nobody's closing anything tomorrow morning.
