No Means No!

We`re at a closing yesterday in which we represent the Seller. All repairs that were agreed upon were completed weeks ago. Buyers signed off that repairs were satisfactory. At the closing the Buyer wanted us to give them a credit for the carpeting claiming that the Seller left it dirty when moving out. They wanted a credit for $1400. As I explained to both the Buyer and Buyers Agent, the walk through was completed, there were no indications that they wanted the carpet replaced and or cleaned.
The Seller wouldn`t accommodate any longer. "It was Time to Close'
Anyway, we sat there for almost two hours going back and forth until I asked the Seller to "Get up and Leave". I told the buyers that they were now in default and we`d be asking for all escrows. Within 5 minutes of walking out the door, the Buyers agent ran towards us and told us the buyer finally agreed. It`s hard to comprehend what these buyers were thinking, but the old adage "No Means No" was in effect!
We closed and shook hands with all parties as if nothing happened..
