A home inspection turning up a repair item, typically a $400 to $600 inspection, is the most common obstacle, and Joel's response is to get a contractor estimate the same week so the seller and buyer are negotiating a real number instead of a guess.
A financing condition in trouble is the second most common, and Joel contacts the buyer's lender directly to find out whether the issue is fixable within the condition deadline or needs an extension, rather than waiting for the buyer's side to report back on its own schedule.
That direct, immediate response is what keeps most obstacles from becoming a collapsed deal. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
