Could I get a quote on repairing the door and take that "off the sale price?"

Yeah, you could, but some buyers may not want the headache of doing it after the sale. You could make that an option in the sale, though; a bargaining point. You could put the house on the market at the higher price, contingent upon the door being replaced, and if the buyers want to pay the extra for the house, have it done before the closing. That way, if they DON'T want to pay the extra, and are willing to live with the door 'as is', you could offer them a 'discount' on the price of the house. Just make sure that ALL of this is in writing, though, so there are no hitches at closing because of misunderstandings.

Hmmm...that sounds good.

Overhead Door is who did the door...it's written right on the door. I guess they'd give me a free estimate anyway...just to see what I'm looking at here.

I mean, it's liable to be like those PayPal fees...not worth getting all in an uproar over! LOL I anticipate it being expensive, but not devastating.
