An inspection negotiation is not finished when the seller agrees to repair something. The practical finish line is confirming that the agreed work was completed in the manner required by the written resolution before closing.
Read the exact repair language
A resolution might require a licensed contractor, a specific repair, a replacement, a permit, paid receipt or another defined standard. Buyers should verify against what the parties actually signed rather than what they remember discussing during inspection negotiations.
Receipts are useful, but they are not the same as performance
A paid invoice can show who performed the work and what was billed. It does not necessarily prove that every agreed condition was corrected. For meaningful repairs, the buyer may want the inspector or appropriate specialist to verify the completed work if the contract and timing allow.
Permits and transferable warranties can matter
If the repair required a permit, verify the status rather than assuming the contractor handled it. If a new roof, furnace, water heater or other system carries a warranty, ask what documentation is needed for the buyer to use that warranty later.
Use the final walkthrough as a confirmation, not the first check
Waiting until the final walkthrough to discover that a contractor never arrived creates unnecessary closing-day pressure. Track larger repair items as closing approaches and collect documentation early enough to address a problem if something is incomplete.
When the repair is technical, structural or safety-related, rely on the right professional to evaluate it. The real-estate broker can manage the contract and documentation, but should not pretend to be the electrician, roofer, engineer or inspector.
