No Fudge Ripple! Latest Offer Takes the Cake!

Part of me was a little put off by the latest offer on our new home for sale in one of our new home communities in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, but part of me just had to laugh. At least THIS buyer has a sense of humor.

As many listing agents are fielding some weird offers on existing homes they have listed for sale these days, I doubt anyone has had the special request that we received this week. First, it appeared to be your normal offer to purchase, the buyer wanted to negotiate the price, ask for closing costs assistance, expand the deck, add a patio, etc. Then as you read the bottom of the addendum, right after install a "doggie door", there it was...."and fully stock the frig with Ben & Jerry's ice cream" What tha He%*@#!

Our builder asked, " Are they serious?" The other agent, who was doing her best to represent her client and she responded yes. So after thoughtful review, we're still a little confounded. Should we delete this request from our counter or try to do EVERYTHING we can to make this buyer happy? How about countering with limiting the freezer stocking to VANILLA flavor? No Fudge Ripple!
