There are far too many ignorant dipshits to ensure a smooth sale, and I am in a slightly different situation than you. We've backed out of home sales and gotten screwed out of sales and in every single case the escrow has been returned in full. Our last house we got a full price offer from the first guy to see it, so it leaves the listings. Prior to closing, we were notified that he wanted gutter guards installed or a $10k reduction in price. We don't compromise very much, especially for non-structural or cosmetic issues. He got his entire escrow back.We're on a 12KW solar array, courtesy federal stimulus funds. The total package was around $90K, but that included new HVAC systems (completely new) and new insulation envelope for the house, and an 8KW back-up gennie.
Here's to a smooth escrow and no hiccups!
Sounds like you need to use a competent real estate agent.There are far too many ignorant dipshits to ensure a smooth sale, and I am in a slightly different situation than you.

Home buyers are learning that they can come in early and high, secure the property or at least have it go off-the-list, and then start low-balling or making ridiculous requests in an attempt to lower the sales price, knowing the whole time they will get their money back if they back out.
But, good luck.

Damn, what state and what kind of sales are we talking about here? That sure is some fishy-assed shit, messed up to say the least!There are far too many ignorant dipshits to ensure a smooth sale, and I am in a slightly different situation than you.

Unless they purchase without inspection...Big no-no for the buyer.This home was on the market for 3 days and that's because it was over a weekend.... otherwise would have sold the same day. I put an offer down ~3% over asking..... what it takes in a nice no-HOA neighborhood nowadays. There were already 2 offers, but I got the contract because I had a good agent that knows his business. He doesn't drive a BMW lol, he drives a Ford super duty with a don't tread on me bumper sticker. Now the inspection has turned up some real items to fix, nothing huge or a deal killer, but bet your ass ima get some of that 3% back, that's how it works bro....
I'd def go with heated radiant flooring....using a combo of solar collectors, solar power and a tad bit of electricity to run your pumps. Take full advantage of our 300 plus days of CO sunshine. Keep us posted.
Competence isn't the problem, motivation for repeat business is. We continue to look, but real estate agents are lazy, in my opinion. We would like to purchase, then sell, between 6 and 10 houses per year. We give our parameters to our agent and they come back with a list of possible properties. Any idiot can look at the multi-list, but we can't seem to find an agent that wants to 'work'. I'm sure that we are high maintenance to them, and they are lazy in our opinion. We haven't had the same agent for more than three house sales over 30-ish flips since 2009. Our best agents are new in the industry looking to establish relationships. The first house sale is always good, but we have never been able to 'keep the pace' of the first couple of sales for an extended period of time.Sounds like you need to use a competent real estate agent.
