OK, I think our buyers are being unreasonable!

I think I hit some sort of a wall with this whole "moving to Omaha" thing. It has been nice to have the house off the market and not being shown every other minute, but it just seems like we can't put an end to the deal.

Just to re-cap, the relocation company did their own home inspection on our house in EGV and found three things that we would have to fix, even if it came to taking the buy-out offer: the front step, the sagging deck and some suspicious mold in the basement (yikes!). Our buyers had their own inspection done and wanted a whole list of things fixed (but they made no mention of the whole mold thing, so that's a big relief!) Maybe their inspector decided that it really wasn't a "bad mold" thing or maybe even not a mold thing at all. But, they did want us to fix the deck, the front porch, and lots of other little things. We pretty much agreed to all but two or three of their requests -- one thing they wanted us to do was have the heating and AC "certified" to be in good working condition. For some reason, this seems ridiculous to me. They have purchased a home warranty and we have all of our receipts for cleaning and maintenance on the systems -- we told them they work fine (I know, why should they believe us) and we also said that they are more than welcome anytime to come and have it looked at by whoever they want - we're just not doing it... I mean, come on! I think their realtor is even getting annoyed with them. (Not as much as us, but...)

Not much else to report on the Omaha front - looks like we're still going...
Here's to another long week!
