Not quite sure if the offer or the inspection comes first but it sounds like the offer comes first and may be adjusted based on the inspection.Zillow then buys the house, charges the homeowner a fee of 6%-9% for the convenience of the quick no hassle cash offer and proceeds to do a minimalist bare-bones cosmetic upgrade.....essentially what we call "paint and carpet" in the biz.Zillow then proceeds to sell the home for a profit (maybe).Don't worry about Zillow or the iBuyers upsetting the house flipping market any time soon.

without sounding pushy or messy?

They smoked in my house, even while installing carpet. 

Worked my butt off at all kinds of job clean bathrooms, fast food, manufacturing carpet plant and finally got a part time sales job which led to six figure income with multiple leadership roles.Finally got my BA degree which was paid by my W2 employer.

We have preferred suppliers for granite, cabinets, carpet etc.

New floors, kitchen, bathrooms, carpet upstairs, appliances, patio, furnishings and paint.

In order to do so, I would order the carpet or flooring and make arrangements for the flooring company to install. 

I've painted, pulled carpet/refinished floors and updated the kitchens and baths in both units.

I’ve been using Excel, but it’s starting to get messy.

Carpet look like he overhauled his car in the living room.
