发帖数: 2045 | 3 新手吧？没有人“立场坚定的要求维修”。所谓要求维修，就是为了再砍点价下来。99
%的seller会给你钱让你撤销contingency，没见过seller真修的。但现在人家有backup
offer，如果你是seller，肯定巴不得买主立场坚定的不撤销contingency，退出合同
多赚1万块，笑都来不及。你想想应该开口要多少吧。
顶楼都不是什么问题。也就leak和dishwasher是必须尽快修的，其他都不着急，买下来
基本都可以diy或者不理。repair list当然可以所有都算上要修，开个价而已。不过如
果+1万的offer是真的，seller真没有理由陪你玩下去。你的advantage是先签contract
在手，seller不能单方面退出，但是正想找理由让你退出呢。 |

窗户也要换了，有BACKUP OFFER的话，你就啥也别要求了 |

发帖数: 157 | 5 多谢多谢！就是新手啊，啥都不懂。那您看再砍多少合适？75万的房子。
还有，我是直接和listing agent交易，那她拿双份佣金，怎么对我也是威逼利诱？这
backup是她在我签了合约后再找来的。

可能有mold.

发帖数: 157 | 10 更新一下。昨晚和double agent谈，我提到换water heater要4000刀时被鄙视了，当场
打电话给一个什么人，被告知1000刀就够了。于是要求给500刀credit。结果seller拒
绝了。房子还是挺喜欢的，想想还是接受了，早知道就不花钱做inspection。
包吧
