Inspections and appraisals

How do I negotiate repairs after the inspection?

After your inspection, you typically have until the end of the 10 day inspection period to submit a Buyer Inspection Notice and Seller Response form, or BINSR, under the standard AAR purchase contract. You can request repairs, ask for a credit toward closing costs, or request a price reduction. Prioritize health, safety, and major system issues rather than cosmetic items. The seller can agree to all requests, some requests, none, or make a counter proposal. You then decide whether to accept their response, continue negotiating, or cancel the contract within the inspection period. Market conditions and contract terms influence leverage on both sides. Jon can help you evaluate the inspection report, prioritize requests strategically, and negotiate the best outcome.
