Pool inspection nightmare, need some advice.

Hi Everybody,

My wife and I are selling our home and are in the middle of the inspection period. We’ve taken pretty good care of the house since we moved in including replacing and repairing many items of concern. We were pretty confident of a good inspection when coming under contract, and it seemed that way. The general inspector didn’t point out crazy items, and the electrical inspector was satisfied as well. The problems started yesterday with the pool inspector. Our pool deck’s slab has cracks that are purely cosmetic, but, after asking the pool inspector/contractor if there was any concern or anything out of the ordinary, he mentioned that cracks were normal for a 40-year old house. He also let me know that while they could be patched, patching was a temporary fix and that he would recommend completely re-doing the deck. Today, I receive an email from my agent regarding the buyer’s inspection findings. Long story short, the pool contractor quoted them $26,000 to re-do the deck and that includes damage that may happen to the tile, the pebble tech, etc. I don’t mean to be unreasonable as a seller, but this sounds completely asinine.

Thus far, I have been willing to address all of the buyer’s issues in a manner that prioritizes safety, quality, and longevity, but $26K is literally what it costs to replace a whole pool!

Am I naive and work like this is truly this expensive or are they trying to cut the price of my house for no reason?

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...
