You build fear of the unknown.REI Statement: “My goodness, they write a 3-inch book about how bad your house is.†This is instilling more fear and discomfort with this statement.If you have never seen a home inspection done, you should call a local home inspector and ask to witness their next inspection so you can obtain an idea of their thoroughness.This statement is reinforcing the idea that it is better to sell to you than take their chances on the open market.REI Statement: “I know that on average I spend about $2,500 in repair items besides termite control, roof certification, wiring the smoke detectors, reaching minimum standard requirements and other usual costs, and that’s just an average.†This statement is again building the costs of selling and reinforcing the idea that it’s better to sell to you.REI Statement: “$2,500 plus $40,600 equals $43,100 in seller costs.â€Again, write this and say it at the same time under the right hand column.

There you go, a inch right there. 

One option is see if the company will contract for "only over 3 inches".

They are going to take a mile for every inch they give you, they share none of your downside risks, and they are hard to get rid of easily.

Call the city code office if you see an offense...tall grass, trash in the yard, etc.
