Therein lies the problem. What should’ve been the simplest buy/sell agreements I’ve ever done, became the most complicated when I’ve had lawyers on both ends!

There is no "update" on an issue that is closed. There's only the OP omitting info.



This makes no sense.

Your OP is clearly written to indicate that all of this was over and settled at the time of posting. You made it sound like the closing had happened and said nothing about the seller delaying it.

So which part of this thread is actually true?

Are you back from staying with your parents now??
Oh, man. You figured it all out. I spend my time posting falsehoods online. Glad that I have so much free time and nothing better to do.

Or if it’s below freezing outside during the inspection period the AC CANNOT be tested. I had this during a buyer’s inspection in late January in NY when selling. The snowdrift didn’t help either

FWIW I think you have been “less unreasonable” than many situations I’ve personally seen. Best thing now is to mentally move on and enjoy your new condo.

That's the way it is when things break. One day they work, then on a subsequent day they don't. It doesn't seem like a hard concept to understand.

Thanks, everyone.

Again: I see that a lot of people think I'm in the wrong and that the seller was in the right.

I will accept that, and I will acknowledge that I'm not necessarily "right" in the move-in situation. I'm angry about it, but I will take the views above and accept them--that my side of this is just one side, and that there are grounds for the seller to be ticked at me as well.

(However, for the seller to threaten to destroy my property unless I closed by a certain deadline is improper, and surely people will recognize that making that kind of threat is unacceptable. Particularly when I wanted to close well in advance of that deadline and was delayed by the seller.)

You are only seeing your side, and you're not in the right here. And you're livid … again.
This poster is always livid.

Which is obvious to many, remember everyone is using him.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new home! The people who work in the building are wonderful; the building seems very well-run; and it's beautiful!



So despite the painful process of buying, at the end, it's worth it!

So clarify how something that was apparently settled, since you wrote everything in past tense here:

Once I withdrew all requests from the walk-through, the seller then called to let the movers come in.

... suddenly transformed into something you were in the middle of when you started this thread.

I mean, I'm bad about bulldogging a point, and I own that. But if you want to rally people to your side, you don't present info in a confusing way and then move the goalposts in the middle of things.

Your posting history indicates that you have a problem with grudges, and that's what you need to focus on.

You said you've moved in, and everything is working, correct? So why is this still burdening your heart and mind?? LET IT GO.

Are you still at your parents'? How long ago did this closing and move take place?

I understand that, I just question the notion that the final walkthrough is some sort of 'Inspection II.'

Now if a walkthrough revealed some underhanded stuff...like things that were jerry-rigged to pass inspection but are now back to their non-jerry-rigged state...

I wonder if there was a warranty?
