How Should I Respond to Buyer Repair Requests After an Inspection?

by Sonja Zoet

Inspection negotiations are one of the most important moments in a transaction — and one where professional guidance protects seller equity.

⭐ Separate “Must-Fix” From “Nice-to-Have”

I help sellers prioritize:

  • Safety issues

  • Structural concerns

  • Lender-required items

Over cosmetic requests.

⭐ Smart Response Options

Sellers may:

  • Complete specific repairs

  • Offer repair credits

  • Adjust price

  • Decline non-essential requests

Every response is strategic — not emotional.

⭐ Why Experience Matters

Knowing which requests are standard versus excessive keeps deals intact and protects your bottom line.
