@Brie Schmidt She is impossible to reach by phone and rarely responds to emails. I have the signed document stating she would do the work so I hope that holds up in court.
I'm not sure if I should take her to court first or do the repairs myself then take her to court for reimbursement.
What a great first home buying experience!
That's ok, I still want to buy more : )

I have a few questions regarding buyer/seller contracts at close. To give some background; I bought my rental property in Nov 2012 and on the day of closing did my final walk through of the house, while checking out the crawl space I noticed a small amount of water around a drain in the floor. I brought this up at closing and the seller signed a written agreement to fix the water issue.
In the past year and a half I have had over 10 contractors (delegated by the seller) take a look at the crawl space but have not heard anything after the first meeting and are unreachable when I follow up.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
How can I give the seller a nudge to complete the work?
Should I take her to small claims court? what are the typical fees? Do i need a lawyer?
