well I thought everything was done when seller closed and I got my keys last night. went to do a quick walk through after I got off work and noticed the seller took the washer and dryer from the laundry after they were specifically negotiated into the deal. contacted my agent and shes getting in touch with the sellers agent to find out wtf
Welcome to the world of negotiations......you made a deal for something & if its on paper, you have a good case.
I know it appears that cut and dry, but there is more than 1 reason your Realtor is getting in touch with the other agent....they will need to hash this out without the seller potentially if they don't respond to normal contact efforts. If you have attorneys ready to enforce action for the $500 or so in damages of a used washer and dryer then you will be fine 100%, otherwise as I said he said, I said for the time being.
Could be a mistake and all for nothing to get worked up about it, but as the days go on you will find out if that is the case.
GL man, hope it all works out for you.

Yeah, like others have stated, don't get worked up over this, just see how this plays out with your agent.
This type of stuff happens a lot.......the agent should be able tofix the problem one way or another.

ha if you are going to jump off the ledge for shit like this wait until stuff starts breaking, you find a little mold in the basement, a touch of water damage, etc
just negotiate 500-750 bucks off the closing costs and go get a new set for 1k.
"breach of contract"
.... settle down there jackie chiles

This is what I am saying more or less.
IMO your realtors will try and make it up, but if they cant to your satisfaction you will be "forced" to take the guy to small claims court or do nothing at all. In breach of contract to make the full contract null and void would have to be a lot bigger ticket items or destruction/theft of property to constitute the actual house sale being reversed.
If he took the hardwood or tile floors, or took out the pipes/fixtures in the whole house, then you would have a breach of contract worth while enforcing the reverse of the sale based on terms considering it a contract case...otherwise for 500-1000 worth of appliances, its a small claims court issue and possibly the seller knew that and took advantage of it knowing 9 times out of 10 it would just be written off as a learning lesson for the buyer...
I do still think potentially the Realtors may approach you with, here is $1,000 of their companies paycheck to go towards new washer/dryer or used.. its an accept it and live with it type of offer. They would do this to save their company from looking bad and for good will for their own referral sources stemming from your transaction over the next 10 years if you enjoyed your experience.
GL and hope this all blows over and it was a mistake, by highly doubtful after a final walk through that it wasn't on purpose.

Man if so thats one BRUTAL MFer who needs to learn a certain lesson his own self.
I would hope the Realtor would make it right. This looks very bad on The Realtor, this type of behavior. Especially when added to the fact that they prolly have a YELP Page, a facebook page that can find mention of this land thereupon "Watch Out and be very very careful of this Realtor's Clients stealing stuff from the house after closing has taken place. If you deal with them and this happens they might respond how they did to me when their client stole the washer and dryer out of my house directly after Closing and do absolutely nothing about it because they are a very Calloused and Cold Hearted Realty Firm who do not care about people.
Don't deal with this firm unless you have to or you don't mind being ripped off. There are Honorable and Caring Realtors out there...this is not one of them. "
Seconded.
Do whatever you can to make this Scumbag pay for his actions. Would return of a lugged around stolen Washer 'n Dryer suffice as payment? Would that make this Right? IMO No cuz Washers and Dryers are not easily moved, they bang offa things when they are somewhere they should stay there and not be moved unless completely unavoidable. They should certainly not be stolen. IMO this asshole needs to buy you a new Washer 'n Dryer cuz if his sole "punishment" is just returning the lugged around stolen ones "nothing ventured nothing gained" what the hell he lost nothing in the process 'cept his Soul and any smidgen of HONOR but he prolly lost those things long ago or he'd nto be capable of stealing someone's washer and dryer.
This asshole needs to pay.
hno:
