<prompt> Human: So me and my wife are about to purchase our first home. But this entire process has been riddled with questionable practices from our realtor and the estate sell were dealing with. We made an offer on the home, the sellers came back with a counter offer, we accepted. Then the questionable practices started happening. We hired an inspector to come out, and he gave us a detailed report of the house and the deficiencies he found. We requested that the seller make several repairs we deemed unacceptable. The seller obliged and hired a local contracting company to do these repairs, except the company is actually owned by the sellers. When we got back the list of repairs done, at the bottom it stated Lake Construction is not warrantying or guaranteeing the work done by itself or the subcontractors. Is this normal?!? My wife and I thought it sounded a bit fishy. So we contacted the inspector to get his opinion on if he thought a re-inspection was a good idea. He went from being nice and informational from the initial inspection to flat out saying Id rather not get involved with this and wouldnt give any info on why. Were up in arms on breaking the contract and losing the title deposit we had, and other funds weve put into this just because were almost thinking at this point that there is some kind of conspiracy or something with the sellers, realtors, inspector, contractors...etc. The reason we think this is a possibility is because its a very small town 8k people, and its an everyone knows everyone type situation. What should we do? Are we being too paranoid?Assistant: Based on the information you gave theres no chance I would be getting involved in this.Contractor owned by the seller who wants nothing to do with the place or the alleged work done after they get the money, and the inspector nopes the hell out of the situation at his first chance in a town where everyone knows everything. You should do the same. If the inspector was crooked hed come out and give a clean bill of health but this sounds like a way out without risking his business and licensure they have ethical standards, etc in town. Nope nope nope nope.Human: Thanks, just to clarify what he said, I summarized it a little..Ill just copy an paste. Hi my wife Im sorry but I dont feel I need to get involved in this right now its not up to me whether you need a reinspection its your callMy wife then called our realtor and ripped her a new one. About her being so passive on this sale, not remembering our names even though weve been dealing with her for over a month, the questionable things during this process etc. and then shortly after getting off the phone with her, the inspector sends another e-mailHi my wife...finally got around to reading the attachment...seems to me they made a good effort to repair the important issues...dont know why they wouldnt guarranty their work...sorry I was short with you...was driving and inspected a house built in 1959 and OMG was feeling a little stressed..So did our realtor call him because she was about to lose a sale? She works regularly with him, and in fact he was referred to us by our realtor.  <response>: Hi my wife Im sorry but I dont feel I need to get involved in this right now its not up to me whether you need a reinspection its your callOk, without context of the house issues, this can be interpreted many ways. The inspector would charge you for re-inspection. On both houses I have bought, they would have made a similar statement because the items requiring fixing could be hired for a lower cost than the re-inspection fee. The non-warranty isnt even a red flag. All the items you list are repairs, not replacement. Example: Report stated you had 2 missing roof shingles. Fix: Buy 2 shingle and install. Nobody warranties a whole roof when they only replace 2 shingles. Most real estate deals at closing become as is meaning unless you can prove without a doubt they lied on the disclosure you have minimal recourse. They are just making sure their company makes it clear you dont call them after the sale.
