The plumbing issue is resolved. While it was what we thought: the faucet locked up due to lack of use, it wasn't a quick fix. Fortunately, we still have internet service at the house. I felt sorry for the poor plumber. He wound up having to replace the faucet. Normally, he would have cut an access panel from the wall on the other side. Unfortunately, the wall directly behind the bathtub is actually the tiled wall of the shower in the master bath. The plumber had to work through a relatively small hole--probably about 6 inches by 6 inches. This resulted in a couple of extra trips as a couple of screws fell behind the wall. On the plus side, he stuck to his original estimate.
The original estimate would have been higher had the buyer's realtor not been there and started asking question after question. I like their realtor.
In any case, by 4pm this afternoon, the faucet was fully installed:

All in all, it wound up being a good day. I was able to attend all of my meetings and get several items off my work to-do list, and the buyers are satisfied with the new faucet, the inspection item is cleared, and we should be ready to start the slow march to the closing in late July.
