On March 28, my husband and I sold a home to a couple. At settlement, we put 1900 into escrow to pay for repairs at the result of a home inspection. One of the items was one countertops in the kitchen needed to be tighted. (Recommend by the inspector) My husband asked a contractor for an cost estimate to do the other repairs, and to tighten the countertops. The contractor states the main countertop couldn't be tighten, he said it should be replaced, and he had a countertop to match the remaining countertops. At settlement, the new homeowers agreeded to have this contractor to do the work, they were given a choice to use this contractor or take the money. They chose to use the contractor. Both parties signed agreement for the $1900. The contractor completed the required work from the inspection report. The new homeowners decided to select another type of countertop, now the other two smaller countertops do not match. The new owners realestate agent is asking us to pay for the other two countertops, that were not included in the service order. Are we responsible for paying additional money for their countertops?
Where does a sellers responsibility stop?
I have a ethics question that I need some input about. I just sold my pre amp to a buyer who made a local pickup. The pre has always worked flawlessly. He demoed it and then we took it out of my system. I started to remove the top to take out the tubes and pack them as they were when I purchased the unit. He said not to bother and so we packed it in all the original boxes.
He called me 3 hours later and said that the pre amp doesn't turn on. I told him that it had never had a problem like that before but, he was welcome to return it. He seemed really miffed at me like I cheated him. Now the problem is, I will be refunding his money but, how will I know that he didn't drop or short out or whatever the unit ?
Did my responsibility stop once it left the door?
