This is the full list of repairs my realtor wanted to ask for. I do not think all of these are necessary and would remove some but I am just overwhelmed with the amount of things that needs fixed with this home. And this isn’t even all of it! This is a 2009 home being sold above market value and all this stuff is wrong. Our inspection report was 56 pages long.

What would you ask for repairs? Am I better off just walking away if they refuse? If you got a sellers concession what would you ask for the total price to do everything myself?
