Fridge

[Mark Cohen]

Quick fridge question to throw out there.

I have around 2 weeks until closing on a short sale, and the real estate agent just informed me that her clients fridge broke. Yes it was part of the contract, but she has no money to replace it. My suggestion of substituting it with the washing machine which was not included in the sale was nixed that the seller needs it and "this is just part of short sale downsides." 

Is there any other way to negotiate over here or should I just take the loss and go to closing?

Thanks! (as always I really appreciate everyone and the time you all take to answer!)
