@Tim PorscheDid you make it contingent to an inspection?

Have never heard or experienced that...we try to do excessive due diligence during contingency to ensure that doesn't occur.

.- Address buyer's concerns with reputable local professional and expert evaluations and written estimates.For example if the deck needs to be repaired or replaced, during the contingency period I'll attempt to have at least 1-2 licensed contractors provide written estimates.

This sewer line issue is not capex, it's contingency.

No showings unless verified POF or a PA with an inspection contingency.

So, anonymity helps if that target is smaller on the surface, the lawyer might not bother (especially when they work on contingency).

MLS, cash offer no contingencies.

If you do not have time, make sure there is a short contingency (along with the inspection, mortgage and any other contingencies) that will allow you an opportunity to check with the zoning department to make sure it is a legal two family.

This experience underscored the importance of vetting contractors thoroughly and having contingency plans in place.

However, if a transaction coordinator does not have an active real estate license, they cannot participate in brokerage activities like negotiating repairs and contingencies...."
