Poor quality of work on home I'm under contract for
Hello - I am under contract to buy a new construction home. It's supposed to close in 2 days but the builder is still doing the work, it seems like they are rushing to finish because of the pressure from the seller, but I feel like that's leading to very poor quality of work. I had inspection done yesterday, and there are so many issues, in addition to cosmetic items I found on my own. What's the best strategy to make sure the house is in the great condition when I take possession, i.e. how do I negotiate so that the seller/builder take care them all?

Do not close until all the work is completed. The builders will not finish the work if you close with outstanding items.
