All defects should be addressed by the appropriate trade person, licensed or otherwise qualified to perform the repair and/or installation, ie; GFCI - Electrical contractor. Presumably, that contractor would than explain why the absence of the GFCI would / could be hazardous to the occupants well being and extended life. That is the long way around, but, I suppose that is what they (Realtors/government) want. Seems like they are trying to make it difficult for consumers to find out why something is a defect and therefore not demand that it be remedied. So much for protecting the consumer - just protect the commi$$ion. or am I reading it wrong?
