If they signed an "As-Is" clause then tell them to take it or leave it. If not then just give them a small allowance to use to remedy it themselves. Chances are they will take the allowance and never repair it.

Probably first time buyers and think that they have to have everything an inspector finds repaired. Little do they know that most of those independent inspectors aren't worth hiring for free much less $400.

This. I once had an Inspector write down that a wing nut on the toilet tank was loose. I walked over and twisted it tight while he and the buyer were standing there. Idiot.

There was no as-is clause in the sale agreement.

But they are first time home buyers. I know that. The home is 10 years old and in generally very good shape except for their noted concerns in the inspection.

We put down new carpet in all the bedrooms and also replaced the back entrance door that was rusted from dog scratches before we even put it on the market.

I think I'm going to fix their other concerns and leave the windows.
