A closer look / From my experience
The repair
wasn’t finished.
An inspection had already taken place. The concern still needed an answer.

The concern was still there.
One of the most challenging situations I handled involved a buyer purchasing a home where a load-bearing wall wasn’t fully supported. Supports had already been installed and a structural engineer had inspected the work, so discovering that the issue remained unresolved raised questions about what had been done and what still needed to happen.
Find out what still needs to happen.
The challenge was getting the problem addressed properly when there had already been an effort to repair it. I worked through the issue with the other side to get someone back out to make the necessary repairs and arrange another inspection.
Complete it. Then verify it.
I kept the focus on a concrete resolution: complete the repair and have the work reinspected so my buyer had reliable information about the home’s condition. It took additional coordination and follow-through, but we got the repairs completed and the work reinspected. That situation reflects how I approach a difficult transaction: I stay involved, ask questions, and keep working until the concern has been addressed.
