Home Inspection Repairs

Summary

Missy : For all the items you would like to have fixed - and are not safety or related to the failure of an expensive system – bundle them together in a request for credit at closing. For Example, sellers are more likely to agree to a $300 credit at closing, than repair 30 issues that will cost $10 each and they would have to do themselves. Bill : Ask your buyer agent to prepare a Prioritized list of repair/compensation requests. As a buyer agent I always do this. It may be counter-intuitive, but it is important to give the seller and listing agent a copy of the complete inspection report. Once they know about a repair item they have to disclose it to the next buyer – so they might as well deal with it now and with you.
