Failed lead clearance

I am in the process of buying a flipped pre-1978 house. The quality of the renovation is good, but to be on the safe side we ordered a lead clearance test to make sure it was cleaned up properly after the recent renovations. Unfortunately, it failed the test (10x recommended lead levels in dust on some sills and floors). Our realtor doesn't have much experience with this (apparently people don't usually do any type of lead testing in this area), and I am wondering what is a reasonable response for this the due diligence. I know that for safety purposes all that should be necessary is a careful cleaning followed by another lead clearance test, but I am also worried about issues with future resale as we would now have to disclose a failed lead dust test (of course we would also disclose the subsequent passed clearance, but I worry this will still spook some buyers). I assume the current sellers will have the same concern if the present deal now falls through, so I would guess we have some room for negotiation here. What would be reasonable to ask, beyond just the cleaning and subsequent lead clearance test?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
