Turn inspection findings into an itemized defect register, low/base/high repair exposure, urgent cash need, specialist-review plan, and transparent comparison of as-is, price-reduction, closing-credit, seller-repair, and holdback pathways. Control the exact condition deadline, report evidence, limitations, specialist scopes, written quotes, health/permit/insurance questions, separate negotiation paths, seller responses, residual risk and versioned buyer instruction.

Who it helps: Home buyers, buyer agents, teams, inspectors, specialists, contractors, mortgage professionals, insurers, appraisers, lawyers, sellers reviewing requests and transaction coordinators

Decision: What is evidenced, what remains unknown, what can the buyer fund, which lawful path is being considered, and what exact professional or buyer instruction is still required before the condition deadline?
