🐝 When a Home Hits a Bump in the Inspection
Sometimes, a Home “Fails” Inspection—meaning some serious issues pop up.
Don’t Worry, 🐝 Happy !
You have options under your inspection contingency:
-
Negotiate Repairs or Credits – With your list and licensed contractors estimates we would ask the seller to cover repairs or give a credit toward your closing costs.
-
Request Major Fixes – Have the owner address the Big-ticket problems before moving forward.
-
Proceed As-Is – Love the home and willing to take it with the current issues.
-
Cancel the Deal – Walk away safely and get your earnest money back.
The 💰 Big-ticket are Health & Safety Issues. Some Examples: septic systems, radon, water issues, roof damage, water damage, pest infestations, C/A, plumbing, electrical, rotting wood, foundation or structural problems—just to name a few!
We’ll help You navigate the details so there are no surprises in Your Honeycomb & No matter what you find, the 🐝 helps you Buzz through the options and decide the Best Path Forward.
