The information you get from the home inspection can provide you with leverage in negotiations. You can request repairs based on the information from the home inspection and you can sometimes get price or other concessions based on the problems found in the inspection. Your agent is best qualified to negotiate for these things because they are knowledgeable about how each issue affects the value of the home. The agent will make sure any serious problems are addressed by the seller. This could be in the form of a price reduction, a repair, or a seller's concession. A buyer's agent should also let you know when you are asking for unreasonable requests. Buyers need to remember the purpose of a home inspection is not to make a perfect home. Nearly every home has issues large and small. A good buyer's agent will keep your focus on what is important and what to let go of. Your agent will communicate with the seller's agent and attorneys or title company throughout the sale. Everyone needs to be on the same page for a home purchase to go smoothly. Your real estate agent will be responsible for keeping everyone informed, including the seller's agent and your attorney or closing company.
