How do I negotiate seller credits for a 20 year old roof?

The house is perfect but the roof is at the end of its life. My inspector says it's not leaking yet, but it's due. The seller says they won't replace it because it's functional. How do I get them to meet me in the middle without them just moving on to the next buyer who doesn't care?

Can my agent work for me and the buyer?

We're selling our house. It's been on the market about 3 weeks. We've had showings and just got an offer. But the agent says the offer is from their own buyer client. So then she wants to work for both of us. She tells us that she'll be fair and equal. But how can she really? How can she have our best interest and the buyer at the same time? And will she be the one to really come out on top of all this? We want to sell, but we also don't want to get pushed over.

What are the hidden costs of buying a new Construction home?

I want to sell my home but it wasn’t professionally built?

The home is an owner built home. No professional builder was involved. Everything was done by the owner who was not a licensed or skilled contractor. How does the market value these homes? Would it qualify for financing or cash only? Do I have to sell it As-is and/or disclose it as an owner built home?
