My husband and I almost purchased the home of our nightmares and not our dreams. We were trying to purchase a home that was part of an estate which meant dealing with four heirs who all had different opinions as to how much to sell the home for. The Realtor we were working with was not much help and just shrugged when the sellers would continually change their selling terms. The last straw was when we had the home inspected, it turns out that the basement pipes were covered in asbestos and yet the sellers were not willing to reduce the sales price to cover our cost of removing the toxin from the home. Needless to say we ran away from that real estate transaction and found another Castle Rock real estate agent and a much better house a few weeks later.
