Some sellers refuse to fix anything after a home inspection & you suck!
They prioritize their own financial gain over fairness, yet they’d be the first to complain if they got poor service elsewhere. Here’s why this happens:
1. Sellers See Their Home as an Asset, Not a Service
- Unlike a restaurant, where the customer is paying for a direct service, home sellers often view their property as an investment.
- They’re emotionally and financially tied to it and may resist making concessions, even when repairs are justified.
2. Greed & "It's Not My Problem" Mentality
- Some sellers think, "I lived with it, so can the buyer."
- They may want top dollar without putting in effort, assuming the buyer will cave.
- Reminder 85% of homes are in poor condition the buyer should also demand repairs on major issues
3. Power Shift in the Market
- In a seller’s market, sellers feel no pressure to negotiate because demand is high.
- In a buyer’s market, they’re more likely to accommodate requests.
4. Emotional Attachment & Denial
- Sellers often take pride in their home and may see repair requests as nitpicking.
- Instead of acknowledging defects, they may get defensive or dismissive.
5. Hypocrisy & Double Standards
- The same people (bad sellers) who demand perfect service in a restaurant feel entitled as sellers because they see themselves as the one providing something valuable.
- They fail to recognize that a fair transaction should benefit both parties, not just themselves.
How Buyers Can Handle This
✔ Prioritize major issues – Focus on structural, electrical, and safety concerns instead of minor fixes.
✔ Negotiate price instead – If they won’t fix anything, push for a price reduction.
✔ Get quotes & use them as leverage – Showing actual repair costs can make them reconsider.
✔ Know when to walk away – If the deal isn’t fair, be willing to move on.
