 How Do You Handle the Home Inspection Request for Repairs?
 
 
                                                     
 
 
In the past 10 days, I have had three sales and that means three home inspections..2 were my listings and one for a buyer.. aka future seller. All three were handled quite differently! 
There have many discussions about home inspections, who should attend, who should not attend, liability, who should be talking, who should be commenting..etc.
This discussion is how to respond the home inspection.
If you are the buyer's agent...how do you go about requesting needed repairs? Do you have a discussion with the buyers? Do you go over the report and decide what items are important to have corrected by the home owner? Do you discuss which items are normal maintenance, or normal upgrades that you would like to have addressed? Do you discuss what has to be an immediate repair and what can wait as a maintenance item? You know... like cleaning the gutters.
Or do you just take the entire report and ask that every single item, mentioned on the home inspection report, be corrected by the home owner?!
That's what happened to me. The inspection (my listing) lasted almost five hours but the agent did not get his report back for ... more
