Probably part of their business model. Keep squeezing money out of people. They already got closing credits. Now they're on to a settlement. Rinse and repeat with the next unfortunate victims.
That is the first thing that came to mind. I would bet they do this to almost all of their sellers they have done business with.

No, that would be akin to admitting they didn't disclose the issue.
Nuisance or defense cost settlements are done 10000 times a day without any admission of liability.

The fun part of these threads is that any lawyer decent and competent enough to actually know the answer also knows not to give anything resembling legal advice to a stranger on a message board. Therefore you’re left with a bunch of slapdicks guessing and offering terrible advice.
Good luck, OP. Call a Florida real estate lawyer.

write them a nice letter stating that you would like them to suck a fat, herpes infested, dick and that you will not be paying them $23k.
Oh, and report back after.

The bad news for you is that a good construction/contract litigation attorney could plow through the $23,000 amount in controversy pretty quickly. The good news for you is that the LLC will need to pay a FL licensed attorney as well, which will cost them as much as the $23,000 they are seeking. You’ll benefit from at least having a good attorney review your contract and help you craft a response. You could call mike schofield at Clark Partington to see how much he would charge to review your letter and draft a response. He’s going to be a little pricey.

Call lawyer and respond to letter with threatening letter of you own. Threatening a counter suit of 10x what they are demanding (that will get their attention). Threatening to sue their inspection company and their realtor also. Put ball back in their court.

Okay point taken, but why would anyone under these circumstances go offer them anything?

You will end up suing your broker if suit is filed. They can’t represent your interest for that reason.
Not Florida, but the agent down the street said that the disclosure laws have become more strict recently in La.

tell them to sue their inspectors.
That’s the inspector’s job. Especially if you stated “as is” and they signed off after the inspection was done. I think you will be okay but I would definitely have an attorney on your side

Figure you are out 5-10k to hire your own lawyer to fight it to an undetermined ending.
Or
You are out 5-10k to the company and they waive all rights to come back at you.

*NOT LEGAL ADVICE* lol But, you should hire an attorney or ask a friend that is an attorney to look into it if you know one. While I'm sure tOT is full of excellent lawyers you might want to get an in person lawyer on your issues.

Tell em to frick off and you will see them in court.
Posted on 12/27/21 at 3:37 pm to wallyb
Send them a picture of your balls and tell them to lick it. I wouldn't respond one fricking bit. You have a signed contract and they even accepted an addendum to contract for faults found. They fricked themselves.

Presume you had a Homeowner policy with liability coverage, inquire with your Home owners company, , appears you acted in good faith , good luck to you

I would think they need to prove you knew about water damage in order to claim you didn’t disclose.
