The sad thing is that at first the homeowners refused to fix it so the deal was off then when they finally agreed to do that my son had to take a temporary demotion at work to stay on and the approx. $400 per month reduction in pay was enough to make him decide to hold off buying a home for a few months.

yep, lady in my church didnt, she is a nurse and quite the smarty pants if you know what i mean, single, quite independent didnt tell anyone or ask anyones advice ,despite several of us contractors being in the church ,UNTIL after she closed and couldnt understand why, after she moved in, her furniture was leaning, all she saw was the new flooring and appliances and cabinets , her boiler wouldnt run, right etc etc. then she asked me for helllp! i went and looked at the floor from the basement it was rotted, the boiler hadnt been service in years it was sad .i asked her for her closing papers and statement from the seller and that was her saving grace because they said there was NO asbestos instead of saying none known, big mistake, i then pulled one vinyl siding panel apart and found what i knew was asbestos siding , she threatened to get a lawyer and they blew the deal up immediately, she got almost all her money back and a very important lesson all because she didnt want to spend the 400 for the inspection. unbelievable!
