Let's just say hypothetically it cost $2,000 and your assignment fee is to be $12,000 then why don't you negotiate with the buyer that you will cover the cost to repair up to the quote received.

. $50 won't even barely cover a scratched up door from an excited dog as it's parent gets home.

After some research, I found out that DC has a program which would cover 70% of the cost!

I know I can call and ask, however I also know that if the wrong thing is said they won't cover your proposed claim.

It's always good to know what their split is, any "desk fees" what all they cover when it comes to your advertising.

@Harjeet Bhatti I don't mind utilizing a certain amount and covering the rest out of pocket.  

@Ricky Cover you wholesale houses that are cheap enough that your buyer can make a typical profit. 

Nuisance things: paint, wallpaper (very annoying), holes in drywall, smells (unless it is a sign of mold), cracked windows, missing or damaged screens, no GCFI, flooring, broken handles, damaged cabinets, interior doors on exterior entrances (I see this a lot), bowls under sinks to catch leaks, general run-down-unlovedness.

I added an extra $5 into the cleaning fee to cover it, but some guests bring more cars.

Catherine, thanks so much for your reply.Russell, thanks for your reply also however I wouldn't expect their E&O insurance to cover me when I'm working as a principal.
