How to deal with uncooperative seller during due diligence

[Account Closed]

Hi all...

Thank you for all the help you’ve contributed on this project...

This will definitely be a victory for the BP community when all is said and done.

Here’s the situation:

I got the inspection report back and have some concerns I want quotes on. Seller is unwilling to let me back in the building.

I am corresponding with her boyfriend now via email.

They say that they’re willing to handle everything that’s not cosmetic.

How can I ensure they’re doing what needs to be done and not pinching pennies to appease me or a future buyer?

One thought I have is having them give me the names of the companies doing the work and show me the invoices. Then I can follow up with the companies.

Is this good enough?

Or would you send your inspector out AGAIN after owner claims to be finished?

How would you navigate this? Any advice?

I do not allow sellers to do any repair work. I make a counter offer and do the repairs myslf. Or walk.
