Imagine you’re selling your home.
The buyer completes their inspection, reviews the report, and asks for several repairs. One of the requests states that the work must be completed by a “licensed contractor.”
Seems straightforward enough.
After all, most people would agree that repairs identified during a home inspection should be completed by someone who knows what they’re doing. The phrase sounds reassuring. It suggests professionalism, competence, and accountability. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized that what appears to be a simple request may not be nearly as simple as it sounds.
