After we receive the inspection report on your home, the buyer will be granted the opportunity to request repairs by the seller or request a credit instead of repairs. Once the seller receives the inspection report and repair credit addendum, there is a 7-day negotiation period. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

• Buying and selling a home is emotional for both parties.
• I can help you with any repairs that need to be completed.
• If a request is unreasonable you don’t necessarily need to do it.
• After the inspection negotiations are agreed to, we can help schedule repairs to be completed. Please keep all receipts / invoices of work completed and send them to me.

• Defects to the property. This means something that is damaged or dysfunctional that affects a normal standard of living.
• Defect: a condition which impairs the normal stability, safety, or use of any improvements (building) on the property.
• Common examples include structural defects, a damaged roof, mold in the crawl space.

• Cosmetic flaws. This means something that improves a personal preference of living. Any cosmetic flaws, antiquated systems, or grandfathered components that are in working order but would not comply with current building code if installed today.
• Examples – normal settlement cracks, a roof that is old but in working order.
