What Should I Do When a Home Inspection Brings Up Unexpected Issues?
Inspection surprises happen — and how they are handled determines whether the deal stays together.
⭐ 1. Don’t Panic
Most inspection reports sound worse than they are.
⭐ 2. Prioritize the Real Issues
I help sellers separate:
-
Safety concerns
-
Structural issues
-
Cosmetic items
From minor maintenance.
⭐ 3. Get Smart Quotes
I coordinate reliable local contractors so sellers understand true costs.
⭐ 4. Use Strategy, Not Emotion
Options include:
-
Repairing key items
-
Offering credits
-
Adjusting price
-
Using backup offers
My negotiation experience protects seller value.
