Exactly. If your realtor was doing his/her job you would not be posting. Decide upon an amount to be held in escrow until work is completed or to cover cost if someone else is hired to complete job. Do you have the repair specifications written into your contract? Hopefully so, it helps your case. Best of Luck.
