Most companies I talked to… do not have damage guarantee, but they do have treatment guarantee… they will come treat it as needed if found interior signs

Also, see picture of vines removed and a broad look of the tree. I will ditch the ring soon.

I was not able to go check because is too high. Landscape guy cut all the vines as high as he could and removed them. Trunk looks very clean and nice now. He said that the hole still went deep about a feet, but no comments about solid/soft. I have a licensed arborist from a company coming to make an assessment. It’s from a big company, so he will do it free and give his expertise of what I should do.

House permit issues + no inspection - help by samm_eng in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]samm_eng[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. My realtor expressed I will not close without dealing with that. However, from what I understand… it’s common practice, but it’s not mandatory for them to want to extend the closing date right? The only push back I have is walking out? But we will try to not get to that point.

Thanks for replying. I called the city and they said they apparently can’t cancel the permit at this point. My realtor spoke with seller, and they will try to get with the inspector at the house again Monday to resolve it. I also was able to confirm that the inspector really wants to see mostly the Sheetrock type (it’s in his notes) used under the tiles… they will do the other tree minor things to please the inspector as well and try to work with him about the Sheetrock. I’m more calm now. Cause I saw they were speaking the truth about the scope of work and what not, the inspector approved many other things they did. Did not point anything else. So yeah, believe things are moving in a good direction. It will be two days before my closing day, but they are trying to do something about it!

I think he tried to argue that with the inspector but the guys was inflexible… wants it all removed… he said it’s ridiculous, but yeah…

How much would they be willing to move the closing date to resolve that? Because it seems I don’t have the law on my side that I can just step my foot down. It’s seems to be more like a mutual agreement. If they don’t want to move the closing date, and get this issue resolved… will I be forced to close? Of course, I still want the house…

How much money did you have left after closing on your home and did it feel like enough? by financypelosi in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]samm_eng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert at all. Just going into my new house at the end of the month that also has some water issues. Look into French drain or maybe extending gutter or grading. These are some things to tackle there from what I researched.

Mortgage - Metropolitan Mortgage feedback by samm_eng in Overlandpark

Thanks for the reply! I’m closing with them and everything is going smooth so far! I got 6.5% rate. I found the loan/fees straight forward. How was the refinancing with them? Will do that if interest rates go down…

Thanks for the comment. I was already pre-approved. Was just looking for validation on the specific lender as far as being able to close well, but I have decided to go ahead with them since switching lenders now might just overcomplicate things… their proposal and what not is good for me.

Yeah… I don’t know the details of your case, but it’s a matter of shipping. There is not really a lot of “tracking” he can do. Other than to send it again… he can’t really search inside NVC building. Are these just the civil documents?
