Stood my ground on a 3 year old water stain, got called petty

I was at a home inspection on a 1940s bungalow near downtown Austin and the seller's agent told me a ceiling stain was 'just cosmetic from a leak fixed years ago.' I pulled out a moisture meter, it read 18%, and I made them put a $2,500 escrow holdback for potential mold remediation. Am I the only one who thinks 'trust me bro' doesn't cut it for six-figure purchases?

Oh man, good for you honestly. In my experience if someone's already being shady about it, that moisture meter reading is worth way more than their word.

Wait is that really a thing because I used to think a meter was overkill but now I'm not so sure.

@mary776 nailed it, how much did the seller's agent fight back on that meter reading?
