Can a seller ditch verbal maintenance credit promises at the last minute?

Seller verbally agreed to maintenance credits before we went into escrow on a small commercial building, then came back with zero credits after due diligence found real problems. Is that actually allowed, or do I have any leverage here since nothing was ever in writing?

Would splitting my inherited double lot before selling add value?

I inherited my mother's house this year, along with the adjoining wooded lot it sits on, and I am planning to sell. Would the property be worth more if I split the two lots and sold them separately, or is it better to keep them together as a single listing?

Are new countertops worth it before selling a lower-tier home?

Ive spent the last few years fixing up my kitchen with new flooring, trim, and paint, but the countertops are still the same cheap laminate that came with the house. Will replacing them actually pay off at resale, or am I just polishing a home thats never going to compete with the nicer ones nearby? Trying to decide before I list.

is it normal for a seller to wait till the deadline to respond to repairs

i signed my repair request addendum a week ago and the seller has until their deadline to respond and its all new to me so im not sure how this works i technically have time too to review whatever they send back but if they wait until the very last day will i even have a real chance to look it over before my own window closes or does that just eat into my time automatically

Are we unreasonable to only pay what we were approved for after a low appraisal?

Appraisal came in 9k under and now our agent wants us to meet the seller halfway. We're already paying full asking price and the seller won't budge either. Inspection was fine, everything was fine, now this. Are we actually being unreasonable here or is this just normal appraisal gap nonsense?

Does asking full price kill my chances at inspection concessions?

Ok so my agents broker told her sellers wont give concessions if I offer full price bc that means im accepting the house as-is. Ive never heard that. Isnt it smarter to offer full price then ask for real fixes after inspection instead of lowballing up front?
