I try to specify driver's or passenger's side, but then I am assuming their country of origin?

Off-topic, do you think the OP will get mad?

Or some random member will petition the moderators?

Anyway, my sister made an offer on a house. Her husband liked it. The kids liked it. It was in the same school boundaries and had two two-car garages.

Like Invoice the Engineer's new house, but without any cool projects.

They counter-offered and she rage quit.

Don't negotiations usually last longer than that? It did not sound like the counter was that bad, she just wants everyone to do what she says. So, unless they do not have any better offers and they come back, which could be a pride issue on their part, she will probably end up paying more money and probably make other compromises.

Do you guys have experience negotiating houses? I put in an offer for one house and they accepted, but it was over 15% of the valuation, I told my realtor there was no way they were coming down, he told me to let him try, and a week later he said they would not come down. It sold for a price in the middle, but several thousand higher more than the VA would have loaned me.
