Negotiating Repairs Without Losing the Deal

Helping buyers evaluate repair credits, seller concessions, and practical solutions after inspections.

In this scenario, you are representing a buyer who has completed a home inspection and identified several repairs that may require additional expense. Your buyer wants the seller to address these concerns but is unsure whether to request completed repairs, a closing cost credit, or another concession. The seller may resist additional requests because the purchase price and other terms have already been negotiated. Your responsibility is to help your buyer understand the options, establish priorities, and communicate a reasonable proposal without unnecessarily jeopardizing the transaction.

The intention is to help your buyer evaluate inspection findings, understand available negotiation options, and make an informed decision about requesting a repair credit or concession while protecting their interests and keeping the transaction moving toward closing.
