Pro tip –  Remember to do a re-inspect of the repairs you ask the seller to do before you close on your deal. With such short notice, Eli and I weren’t able to get the inspector that did his home inspection back out to the house to re-evaluate the repairs.  Luckily, we had invoices sent to us by some of the contractors that did the work. Using that information, we were still able to crawl around together to check that the plumbing no longer leaked, dry rot had been replaced and electrical buttoned up.  It’s important to do this together as a team (if possible), and if you can’t do it together, than make sure your agent does this for you prior to closing on your new home.
