But for me, what should’ve been a smooth transition has turned into unnecessary drama. The buyers of my current house aren’t just eager to move in—they’re demanding that I leave behind my expensive planters and redo all the landscaping for them at no extra cost. When I refused, things escalated quickly, leaving me questioning whether I’m being unreasonable or if they’re just entitled.
