No tool to set buyer expectations about foundation/crawlspace issues upfront, educate them on repairability, and keep them emotionally committed through inspection findings.
Workarounds Described
- Verbal warnings about old house issues that buyers ignore
- Relies on post-inspection negotiation after buyers are already spooked
Implied Software Gaps
- Pre-inspection buyer education tool with visual and cost data to set realistic expectations
- Automated post-inspection communication workflows to guide buyers through remediation options and keep deal momentum
