The Inspection Is Not What Protects You. This Is...

The inspection REVEALS.

But PROTECTION comes from:

• How you write your contingency
• What you negotiate
• What you credit vs repair
• What you walk away from

Information alone doesn’t protect you. DECISIONS DO.

And this is where representation actually matters.

🔎

At Revolve Real Estate, we don’t treat inspections like a checklist. We treat them like a strategy session.

When that report comes back — 40 pages long and mildly terrifying — most buyers spiral. We don’t.

Because here’s what we bring to the table during inspection negotiations:

🔎 Contractor Connections + Real Estimates
We don’t guess. We call.
Roofers. Electricians. Foundation specialists. HVAC techs. Plumbers.
We get real numbers — not emotional reactions.
That changes leverage instantly.

🏘️ Local Zoning + Planning Insight
Is that deck actually permitted?
Can that basement legally be finished?
Will that addition pass township scrutiny?
We know who to call. And we call them.

📍 Neighborhood Knowledge
Every neighborhood has “common” issues.
Clay sewer lines. Knob & tube. Settling patterns. Drainage quirks.
We know what’s typical — and what’s not.

There’s a difference between:
“This is normal for a 1920s home” and “This is a structural problem.”

⚒️ Knowing What’s Easy vs What’s Expensive
Some repairs look scary and are cheap.
Some look minor and are wildly expensive.

Experience matters here.

We know:
• What can be done quickly
• What requires permits
• What delays closing
• What kills financing
• What insurance companies will flag

⚠️ True Safety vs Cosmetic Noise
Not everything labeled “deficiency” is a safety issue.

We help you separate:
✔️ Legitimate hazards
from
✔️ Negotiation leverage
from
✔️ Normal homeowner maintenance

That clarity protects your money and your sanity.

🧠 Understanding Seller Motivation
Are they relocating quickly?
Did they already buy?
Are they emotionally attached?
Is this an estate?
Has it been sitting?

Inspection negotiations are psychology.

And strategy changes depending on the seller’s pressure points.

💰 Maximizing Credits + Concessions
Sometimes we ask for repairs.
Sometimes we ask for money.
Sometimes we restructure the deal entirely.

Our job is not just to “get something.”
Our job is to get you the most leverage possible while allowing you to purchase your dream home.

⏳ Timeline + Hurdle Awareness
We know how inspection timelines interact with:
• Appraisal
• Loan commitments
• Insurance binding
• Title work
• Permit transfers

One wrong move can delay or collapse a deal.

This is why the inspection itself isn’t what protects you.

The protection is:
• Strategic negotiation
• Real-world experience
• Local relationships
• Calm decision-making
• And knowing when to push — and when to pivot

At Revolve, we don’t panic during inspections.

We position.

Because buying a home isn’t about finding perfection.

It’s about understanding risk, managing leverage, and making smart decisions with the right information.

Information reveals.

Strategy protects.

And that’s the difference.
