The root issue is often a refrigerant leak. Instead of fixing what is usually a costly repair, some sellers add refrigerant so the system works for a short period to get through the sale \u2014 but this ultimately leaves the new homeowner with the problem to deal with later.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Beyond HVAC malfunctions, buyers commonly request fixes for<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roof damage or leaks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structural or foundation issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plumbing leaks or corroded pipes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrical hazards (outdated wiring, missing GFCIs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pest or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/mold-after-water-damage\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mold remediation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cost ranges<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minor fixes (leaky faucet, outlet replacement): $100\u2013$500<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate repairs (small roof patch, HVAC servicing, mold treatment): $500\u2013$2,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Major repairs (roof replacement, structural work, new HVAC system): $5,000\u2013$15,000+<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How sellers can respond to buyer requests<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The buyer has presented their requests, and it\u2019s now up to you as the seller to decide how to move forward.

It cuts out contractor delays and subjective disputes over workmanship. When a buyer requests a credit after an inspection, don\u2019t just take their word for the cost. Your job is to validate the ask. When appropriate, hire a trusted contractor to provide their own estimate for the work. If the buyer\u2019s number is inflated, you now have a professional bid to counter with. This isn&#8217;t about paying for the whole thing \u2014 it&#8217;s about grounding the negotiation in reality.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the following table to weigh your options and determine which approach best fits your timeline and budget:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Seller option<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Pros \/ Cons<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make all requested repairs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Satisfies buyer and clears path to closing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reduces risk of renegotiation or cancellation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Can smooth appraisal<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shows goodwill<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expensive, especially for major issues<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Time-consuming, may delay closing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fixes cosmetic items with little value<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk of rushed, low-quality work<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make selective repairs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Focus on major, safety, or lender-required fixes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Save money on minor issues<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Balanced, cooperative approach<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Works well in competitive markets<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers may feel only partly satisfied<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Too many refusals risk cancellation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unresolved issues may resurface later<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer financial concessions\/repairs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>+ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyer manages repairs their way<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saves you time and stress<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeps closing on track<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+ <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexible (price cut or closing cost credit)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Buyers may inflate repair costs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reduces your net proceeds<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lender restrictions may apply<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Buyers may remain uneasy about big-ticket issues<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refuse repair requests<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No added cost<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Can succeed in hot markets<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>+<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Appeals to sellers wanting a clean deal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High risk buyer cancels<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Longer time on market, higher carrying costs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> May weaken your negotiating position<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negotiation and amending the contract<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you and the buyer reach an agreement on repairs or credits, the next step is to put everything in writing.
