    Hun, my mum & dad just sold their house & they had one person hang on for months negotiating.
    Eventually he refused to budge & so they dropped their price. It was around 20000 less than they wanted, but in the end they also wanted a sale.
    I think stay where you are. Maybe tell them to take it or leave it. I've never heard of a RE doing that & I really don't think it'd be for your benefit if you agreed.
    It sounds like they have noone else interested. Goodluck

    that sounds weird - usually they tell you there are 2 other couples who are putting in offers too.

    Keep looking around, I don't like the sound of the RE agent. I got rid of one I didn't like because I didn't like the greasy bugger. I still bought the house at the price I was willing to pay....

    My way of looking at is 'What is $2 K when you are dealing with prices that are over $100 K?'. I say go with what you have put in and if this one bloke doesn't like it it's his problem. I mean if he is one of 3 people his cut would only be what, $666 there abouts (not much to get worked up over. It sounds a bit dodge to me, go with your gut instinct I say. Just make sure all structures are built to code and they have the paper work to prove. We once got jibbed with a veranda that wasn't to code and the fine was HUGE!!!!!
