While under contract in a real estate transaction and the buyer finds out the seller removed a fixture can the contract become null and void and have to renegotiate?

Do you have any pics (proof?) of before and after?

My thoughts exactly. I had a buyer get upset b/c I took a plate shelf down, but it was part of a 2 piece furniture set (welsh cabinet and buffet). She called it a fixture since it was hung on the wall, lol.
So we need to know . . . fixture as in chandelier? Bathroom sink? Did the listing say item "does not convey?"
right..what kind of fixture? Ppl get so silly..I was thinking if we sold our house what woudl we leave? I would have to take somethings down and then do photos.l

Need more info . . .
Similar thing happened to me. We had already been forced to jump through hoops from our buyers, but, hey they were buying in a bad economy.
My realtor finally just let it rip and told them to either buy the house as agreed to or she would give us the name of a great attorney. She also said that anything hung up with molly bolts or wall anchors that was decorative was ours to take.
What nasty buyers need to realize is that the people who are selling will tell the neighbors what a PITA they were. Who wants to start in a new neighborhood with a bad reputation over petty stuff?

I don't think the neighbors will care much about the opinions of people moving away. Threats of gossiping to neighbors about the party buying one's house, as some sort of insurance they won't be so tough in the negotiation, is silly and childish. It doesn't belong in the home buying process. Home buying is a business transaction, nothing more nothing less and not some sort of high school popularity contest.

It is always amusing to me how some misinterpret posts in order to make a nasty comeback.
Who said anything about "Threats of gossiping to neighbors about the party buying one's house, as some sort of insurance they won't be so tough in the negotiation"? It is pretty sad if that is how my post was interpreted.
The facts are that most people (maybe not you) make close friends with at least a few people on their street who are privy to the dealings. Business or not, the fact is that when someone is going through a stressful time, they share, vent, look for advice from friends, who often live within a few houses. The fact is that most people (maybe not you) are influenced at some level by their first impression of people, right or wrong. It has nothing to do with saying to someone, "Give in or I'll spread gossip about you." That would be childish and it never occured to me. Obviously your mind works different.
My point is that buyers should remember that they are not dealing directly with the seller after the sale, but the seller may still have strong ties to the neighborhood. It doesn't pay in the long run to be nasty over little things just for greeds sake. One way or the other, things have a way of balancing out.

There was no misinterpreting to it. You said home sellers will attempt to ruin the reputation of nasty buyers by telling people in the neighborhood these people are a PITA. And therefore these buyers need to remember this. Your words, not mine.
Dear heart, it's a business transaction, nothing else. emotions, reputation, friendships, popularity, etc etc etc have no place in it. No need to get upset with me as well for pointing this out.

I understood what you were saying & you're right. Karma has a way of balancing things out. I'd rather not give Karma something that needs balancing.
