Holding money in escrow is a potential gameplan and I am glad to see your work was completed for you within 2 weeks. Good for you!

My realtor actually suggested that we close as planned but withheld $5000 in the escrow for the repair within 30 days (in my case the stove and a window penal were broken). If the seller doesn't want to deal with the hassle, we keep the money after 30 days (more than enough to get everything replaced, better than just repair). But if the seller wants to get that $5000 back, he had to do all the repair. My seller actually did the repair and his money back in 2 weeks. Hope my story helps.
