Transcript excerpt

It was not good. Looks like we have a leaky roof, old cast iron plumbing, mold in the crawl space, and the entire house needs to be rewired. Okay. The good news is the buyers are only asking for 1,000,588. So I think we can put this together. So I don't know if that's gonna work. I will talk to the sellers. Said they are willing to contribute $10.59 towards repairs. Good news. They will throw in the washer and dryer. Okay. Washer and dryer's great. See if they'll throw in the refrigerator. Refrigerator's a no. They just bought it three years ago. So my folks are good with everything except gonna want Fluffy tier dog. Throw Fluffy in, and we can head to closing. They will throw in the teenage son that lives in the basement.
