Most retail buyers demand that all major repairs and most minor repairs are done at the seller's expense before closing.
Many retail buyers have house inspections done and expect the house to be in top condition.
Sellers may even have liability if problems crop up later for the buyer. In most cases the sellers aren't asked to complete any repairs or deal with contractors. In fact, we like to buy homes that need work because we have the crews and the expertise to deal with repair issues. Every seller has some title costs related to the sale of their property. HomeVestors has made special arrangements with major local title companies to handle our transactions.
