I have been in corporate relocation for over 25years and have seen hundreds of inspections. Unfortunately, the inspectors have become very nit-picky, down to light bulbs missing. Your buyers need to realize they are buying a resale, and part of your agent's job is to help you deciide what to fix, usually broken, safely and code and to negotiate on other things. On our last home, we had a contractor go through first and the buyers' inspector found more! We compromised, but we had not countered their offer price ... It worked out. Typically, if the buyer is emotionally attached to the house they are realistic too. Good luck! You're almost done with this leg of the journey!
