yes, all I can do is bring my paperwork give an honest point of view from my side, and hope to not be taken to the cleaners.

Thank you very much for the experienced info you have shared with me. I am feeling alittle better about my situation.

We were selling a vacant home as is through a realtor and had a amended signed offer that buyers could go in and fix peeling paint so appraisal could come out higher. Realtor over the phone discussed it as touch up painting. We agreed. Exact wording was, The buyer will take care of the painting and adding smoke detectors. We were not present when they did the "touch up painting". The closing came and went three times with all documented extension paperwork. The buyers could not get loan financing on the final day of closing. We decided to cut our losses and not extend the contract or accept a new offer, as this has been going on over two months. Anyway, they are now sueing us for nearly 4000.00 dollars to be reimbursed for painting garage, outside evs, two rooms and a closet.  They have copies of bills for supplies and pics of work being done.They are charging us 25.00 per hour labor that their family helped with.   We have relisted the house with another realtor for less money than we listed the 1st time, so we were not looking to make money off their work which they also claim. What are our chances in court?
