Do sellers have to fix everything on a home inspection?

No, sellers don’t have to fix everything after a home inspection, but mold is usually addressed first. If inspectors find mold or moisture problems, buyers often request cleanup and repairs for safety reasons. Sellers typically handle major issues like leaks, electrical hazards, roof damage, or structural concerns to keep the deal moving. Minor cosmetic defects are rarely required. Buyers and sellers negotiate repairs, credits, or price adjustments. In some cases, the buyer may walk away if serious mold or repair needs aren’t resolved. The goal is a fair agreement for both sides.
