Here is my situation and question: I worked with an agent I have worked with many times in the past and just had the privilege of working with a client whose first question, after initial howdy-do and who are you's, was "If you miss anything that we find later on after moving in, what recourse do we have?" To me this means expect a complaint, claim or lawsuit.
How to deal with this type of client. He is a "maintenance engineer" which may mean handyman or janitor. He was asking about things like "was the sub-flooring adequately thick for a tile floor if the tile was added after the house was built"...
Just wondering a bit. I dislike working with these types of peoples and have even had the agents apologize for the rudeness of their client, after the fact.
Well you can tell him that all of his questions are covered in your contract. This only works if you have a good contract!
You can tell him that if he wants to pay for a guaranteed inspection, that it will be an additional $2,200. Then you will cover all mechanical items for six months in the home!
I would most likely tell him that I will inspect the home to the best of my ability, but I do not guarantee anything past the date of the inspection. Then I would be quiet and let him talk first.
