Home Inspections

After a home inspection in North Carolina, buyers can request repairs, ask for a closing cost credit, renegotiate the price, or terminate the contract — all within the Due Diligence period.

The strongest move is a short, prioritized list submitted early in the DD period with contractor quotes to back it up. Here’s how to navigate the negotiation without losing the deal or leaving money on the table.
