Every home inspector will ALWAYS find something. You could have 10 in a row and do all repairs in between and number 10 will find something. Figure at a minimum 50% of the findings are minimal or just plain not issues. And I would be happy to prove that to any home inspector. However also some of the things they find are real legit and should be resolved.

How they are resolved is the question. If I am a buyer, I want the seller to fix them all to my satisfaction or give me aa fair price for fixing them all. I personally try to identify all the ones I can fix myself in a few hours and get a few hundred off the price. If I am a seller, I want to resolve all the minor ones myself and then place a $ amount on the others and get the buyer to fix them. Also disputing as many as possible.

But is it still something that both buyer and seller have to come to an agreement on that works for both. There are no set rules other then the buyer has the option to walk and get the deposit back. You have to assume it's a home the buyer wants, so it's in everyone's best interest to somehow make it work.
