What’s happens if they do not respond to new offer or if they say no?? Is there a time limit on us coming to a agreement?

Well if they say no you have to decide if you're going to try & come up with the 3K you need or you're going to walk away & find another home.

The time limit question is something your agent should be able to answer but I think you can ask for a response in X amount of time when you send over the offer.

Do you know if the appraisal requires any repairs?

One thing to remember here. The seller is not likely to want to relist the home & wait for another offer to come in & then wait for another 30 days +/- for the new buyer's loan to close.

It's not worth $3,000. Don't let the seller play on your emotions.

Here are a couple of solutions.

1) Asking the agents to kick in $1,500 each to make up the $3,000.00.

2) Can you get a gift from a family member for the 3K?

3) Do you have a 401k or other retirement account that you could pull the 3K from?

If none of these options are viable for you then your only option is to reduce the sales price to $190,000 with the seller paying your closing costs.

Time is $ and it's a game of chicken so don't flinch

whatever inspections uncovered are the same things anyone else would want fixed.
