When a tree is encroaching on a neighbors property, Seller is generally responsible for removal. If that is going to be a deal breaker, you may want to address that concern during the contract negotiations.

Everything is negotiable! It sounds like you are under agreement already, so any concessions you make should provide equal value back to you as the seller.

If the buyer is requesting tree removal, you can decide how to respond. Is there a safety issue? Is it a deal breaker? Discuss with your agent and negotiate the best solution.

This is something to discuss with whomever is representing you (Your Agent). In this case it sounds like the buyers are making it a part of their negotiation.
