Real EstateEstimating & Quoting3MediumListing Agent$ implied

Listing agents lack itemized repair cost estimates for inspection report items, forcing them to guess when buyer's agents ask about costs, which could lead to disputes or lost offers.

Only pest inspection reports include itemized bids; other inspection items (e.g., electrical, roofing) lack pricing, so agents must manually research or guess costs, risking inaccurate quotes and liability.
