The buyers wanted end of May closing date and this had to be moved because she dragged her feet on getting documentation for mediation in a timely manner, they did this without making adjustment to price and their offer was unconditional. Having the house clear and clean and broom swept is standard practice in contracts here and is usually expected. The only time this tends to not happen is when people sell house straight as is, which typically garners a lower sale price. For me to start leaving money on the table here and there is not financially advantageous to me. Also real estate market was worst in 10 years for that particular month so buyers market dictates buyer tends to be more in charge. I only contacted lawyer and use her to give her set dates because this protects me legally and financially and she cannot say she wasnt given adequate notice. Its more to cover my own ass in the situation. That being said if she doesnt have it clear by then i will dump everything and there cannot be complaints afterwards. When dealing with an uncooperative person, deadlines and dates have to be set and repercussions have to be shown. Im merely covering my basis as im dealing with an unreasonable person and im fully aware of that.
