So I bought an apartment which was supposed to be ready by the end of last year. It's still not ready, but it's almost done.

Today I went to see it, and it's all good, except there some glue or scratch on the front door. And it's only on my door, all the other doors on the same floor are fine.

So I send a message to the developer, the person who sold me the apartment, and I tell him about it. He tells me he's skying, and gives me the number of the main worker who works on the building site, and tells me to tell him about it.

And so I'm kinda pissed. I didn't pay $60,000 fucking dollars to be calling anyone. I'm busy too motherfucker! If I wanted to call fucking construction workers I'd build a house, or buy an old apartment and fix it up.

So do I call the worker guy and deal with it, or do I tell the developer that it's not my job to do that, and he should take care of it?

---

You pay me = I work
I pay you = You work

That's how things are supposed to work. Those two should not overlap.

It's like say you buy an article from a top writer, and then you ask for a revision, and he gives you the email of his editor and tells you to contact him so he can fix it. Doesn't it make your fucking blood boil?

I'm pissed man!

If the final contract isn't ready .. then do nothing for now.

Wait until all is ready, check if there's anything broken, scratched or something, and give them the list before the final sign..

But listen an advice from a guy, who got his apartment finished some months ago .. Prepare for a lot of things like this before you enter your apartment. Just don't rush, drink some whiskey and think about it calmly how to resolve it.

Exactly like @Georgi said. Hope you have some deadline in your contract, and some quality milestones. Just stumble something related, when the buyer (like you), enforced the seller with a lawyer because the seller started to delay the working so the measures were taken and he did the work but not before doing some shitty claims. So, it's in vain if you call him and tell him that's his job cause he will not giving a flying *** about you and your apartment. Prepare for the worst, expect for the best.

It's not about what others (we) think it's right for you, but what you think.

I can turn on maximum polite mood and elaborate why any other (opposite) option is good.

It is always about how you feel, and you have chosen the wrong method to let your frustration out.

That should be done via the call, and you already know it.

The moment he told you about main worker number bs, you should react, but you choose to be pussy and silent in the call.

Now you came to flame the guy here, so you made a pussy move for sure. It's because you're gamma male, not alpha, not beta.

Gamma is nothing bad, it is similar to alpha, just even better at some occasions, but not this one (in your case)


You might be afraid to lose something or whatever, but if you are buying legit, you should not worry about the details too much.

Everything has to be done the way you want in a timely manner, else the other party is in trouble.

 

[shiboshy]

OP is not married so if he gets some hookers for like a day of his panel revenue there will definitely be some more scratches anyways
So it depends on OP's lifestyle.

He should not worry anyways.

I would simply wait ! just wait you have payment pending

Dudeee... just hire someone to fix it.
It's not a wp site, it's an apartment. Shit happens. The one I bought didn't even have the paint (it still doesn't, we will do it later. Also, they said this upfront.. no point blaming them) and I still had to pay $55k

Be happy that you bought it. How big is it? What are the amenities?
Congrats btw.

Now you can have lots of firefox tabs I guess.

Oh, and.. welcome to the club.

 

[goo99p]

I can't chill. This isn't right.

None of this methods bhw is suggesting you is gonna work
listen to me man
spend an additional 1000$ and hire some street rat to beat the developer to the death
after that i guarantee you the dev will sort your job
plus you will feel sooo much better
good luck with new house
hope you build a great harem there or if you are not married

Nice. I wanted to live alone for the rest of my life but now I might change my mind...I think I found "the one". Real alpha man, that's something! If you are not available at least I will have wet dreams tonight.

Seriously your comment was unnecessary.

 

[jazzc]

Yeah... I don't live in a very well organized country. I could sue someone, and the case could last for 10-20 years. Maybe not, maybe yes.

But this door thing isn't something to sue over. It's just the principle.

My customers pay me, I work. I save money. I pay you, you work.

But you don't have me do any work on what I paid you to do! You can't do that! You son of a bitch!

Well, whose responsibility is it to find a great professional to buy from? Especially in the housing business, which is a complete and utter jungle.

It's really important to do your homework before, if you have quality demands.

In life, you need to be and alpha and beta and gamma

and of course, you have to balance em, like everything else in life.

Example: seeing alpha who wants to fight but you can escape it without damage or your ego hurt = escape it, be beta


Our guy got right to be mad, but his lack of alpha made him ultra beta in this conversation

Since I saw his posting and know his mindset, because he share his mindset daily at BHW, his profile is gamma and beta, but mostly gamma

Gamma because he is capable to feed 10 mouths, and because he love to spend time alone, working, doing his shit, thinking... that is pure gamma

That's nothing bad nor negative..


By the way, if you are free female just send me PM (I am very available)

 

[WarningExpert]

faggy fucking skiing or whatever

I agree with a few other comments that you might need to chill out a bit. I understand that you're not completely satisfied, but you still have a final payment as leverage and it's just a quick door fix. Relax and hold the money until they're done.

 

[Ninah]

Perfect! Of course I will! Whenever I will be available....

Now I can finally go to sleep.

I would sell it

Hahaha, this is so funny.
CONGRATS and welcome to the home ownership glitzy world. Yeah, it’s ok if you find a scratch or whatever. It is a new place, you may find bigger issues later so keep your relationship with the seller at the best you can.

Check your contract, if you have one
if you brought it new, you should be expecting a brand new house, all comestic damages needs to be replaced and sorted.
My previous house had one of my bathrooms with paint and glue on the toliet seats, i made them replace it.

as for supposed to be ready, check contract if there anything on agreed completion/settle date, for my house im building currently, they have an end date of july, everyday over the developers are paying me \o/

 

[rajiced]

Cool bro, Sometimes these things happens a contractor/developer have sub contractor to take care of works to finish the work on time

They will surely fix it, developer should have taken care of this issue with some positive replies but he is in hurry think so

Call developer once again and ask to fix

 

[ramuite]

Waste of money and throwing it away is like buying real estate with around 1.5% to 2% rental yield one gets on real estate in our city. If I wanted then I will invest in REITS funds than giving a moron money for his house to purchase it. Why should I give a moron the money for his house when we knows the real value of houses during 1960 to 1970. Idiots filled in the world does this.

[theeyeinside]

$60,000 for an apartment? Sounds like a deal.

I will share some experience.

When I was in the military MANY years ago, a friend of mine was having a house built.

So whats the deal? You sign papers. They build it. You move in. You give them a list of things to fix. They fix them.

So why was my friend going to the site EVERY SINGLE DAY to see how they are doing?

I learned by watching.

You MUST monitor, watch and continually complain if something is not being done the way it was supposed to. They will take shortcuts, leave things undone and do anything they think the dumb owners will never see. You have to be in their face. Then they will see you are serious and start working correctly.

YOU should have been doing this the whole time.

Once I was living in the central part of the state. I walked around new homes being built. Once I saw a concrete lintel over the sliding glass door, that had a CRACK in it and they just DUCT TAPED IT!. Another time I saw them dump the frames for the roof IN A PUDDLE, UNCOVERED. Later I looked at the roof before it was dry walled. The frames were BENT AND WARPED. Those morons still used them.

Never trust contractors. Always verify

Sincerely, The Eye

That foreign mentality of 'let it slide' is seeping into the US of America

North America is the only place I been in the world where the customer is always right first

Not sure where you're at but I think you asking him to do his job and providing good service is not a bad idea. You're actually helping him learn a valuable lesson. Steel sharpens steel.

If it really bothers you that is.
