are home sellers responsible for anything after the house is sold?
Home sellers and home buyers who make purchase agreements with each other are generally bound by their contracts' terms. Many real estate purchase agreements contain language detailing just what repairs home sellers are responsible for completing before home sales close. Also, homebuyers sometimes have home inspectors or contractors check out the homes they're buying to ensure completeness of any agreed-upon repairs. Home seller liability for repairs after a home's sale closing is complicated, though, and liability may or may not exist.
