Text message between me and H

Me
"So we don't have to pay for an appraisal are you willing to agree the house is valued at $xxx?"

H
"I realize you probably had "your cousin" appraise the house that being said im pretty sure we both know the value of the home is at least 50,000 more than you are saying it is"

Me
" I didn't have anyone appraise it. This is going off of info from when we were looking for houses six months ago the market is soft right now. Always in fall

I just figured save the appraisal and lawyer fees H. I just thought I'd ask"

H
"I understand that the market is soft Our city appraisal is at $xxx and we can get at least $100 over city appraisal"

Me
"If that's how you feel"

H
"I understand you may have have a consigner to purchase the home with you. not looking to make it so it can't work for you but also have put a lot of work into that house and would like to make a fair deal"

Me
"I am trying to save our children's home to make this as easy as possible for them. They each have asked me to do whatever I can That this is as easy for them is truly all I'm concerned with"

H
"What number do you need to make it work. There's still lots to go through"

Me
"I don't understand your question"

H
"Is $xxx (original number I quoted) the number you need to be able to make it work?"

M
"I haven't looked that far into yet. I'm meeting with the mortgage broker and Am also looking into different forms of added income but its going to take a little time
I can let you know if you'd like"

H
"We'll I guess we will keep it between the lawyers and go from there"

Me
"If that's what you'd prefer"
