No offer on the house

Ahhh, these people have pissed me off! Why would you waste so many people's time and then decide to "pass" on the house. I have spent the past 4 days emailing and talking on the phone with my realitor over and over again answering their questions. Just so they can pass on the house. I know they have the right to their opinions, but I am pissed that their realitor with her lack of knowledge has messed up this deal. Basically they have 3 issues:
  1. the roof: there was a small leak in the dining room that hasn't leaked for over a year...why did we not get the ceiling patched in time? b/c we are so busy and it is an old house and basically it will never be 100% perfect
  2. the HVAC unit: it is over 10 years old and they are worried they would have to replace it while they lived there...well I am not about to replace a perfectly functioning unit that has never gived us on bit of trouble and lots of COLD air! HELLO you are buying an old house, duh!
  3. Asbestos siding on the Garage Apartment: they think they have to have this specially removed before you can put vynal siding on it, again HELLO you are buying an old house, over half the houses in our neighborhood have asbestos siding hiding underneith. Just don't lick the building and you should be ok!
I wish I could talk to them face to face and tell them to not waste peoples time and energy and that they need to be looking in a different neighborhood because the homes in lindley park are OLD and not perfect, but yet that is why the neighborhood is full of charm and character. Go ahead and buy your new vynal siding home in your cookie cutter neighborhood that looks like every other house on the street. And when you go to try and resell that house and aren't able because the builder is building new ones down the street cheaper and you are stuck, I will be on the side lines saying a big fat "i told you so!".
