The home inspection thing and a list of repairs is interesting. The house we sold last year was 27 years old and in very good condition. The home inspector found a few things that were off the wall. I assume they feel that for the amount that they are paid, it is their duty to find some things. The buyer insisted that the repairs be done by licensed contractors ( what was found could easily be done by Hubby) and that was their right. Even the contractors were stunned and many did the repairs for next to
nothing.
The house we are selling now is 4 years old. It will be sold "as is" with no exceptions.
I agree with the comments about HGTV. Our realitor felt the same way. The programs are entertaining and informative, but they give a false impression to home buyers.
You CAN live without granite countertops and stainless appliances!!
