UPDATE: The deal got done in the end. Literally at the last moment. There were even MORE frustrations and aggravations and even on the very last day, at the very last moment, it looked like it wasn't going to go through.
BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE. I have bought and sold several (more than 10) houses in my life and this was hands-down the WORST experience of my business life.
AFTER the closing, I have discovered that many of the things that were supposed to be repaired by the seller were done marginally, or incorrectly. Turns out that the North &Co. realtor was the one that hired the incompetent person that "did the work."
FINALLY, they keep contacting me to remove this review!
If I were you, I would RUN AWAY at the mention of North &Co.
