How do I handle buyer inspections without losing leverage?

Inspections can make or break deals, especially with waterfront homes. Buyers often worryabout septic systems, shoreline permits, and docks. My strategy is to get aheadof those concerns. I frequently recommend pre-listing septic inspections, watertests, and even dock condition reports. This transparency gives buyersconfidence and reduces renegotiations. In one recent sale, we disclosed theseptic inspection upfront, and instead of haggling for credits, buyers appreciatedthe honesty and moved forward quickly. Another seller avoided a $20,000last-minute concession because we had already documented shoreline permitsclearly. The key is controlling the narrative rather than reacting defensively.By addressing potential objections before buyers raise them, you keep leverageand protect your net.
