The FoolProof FSBO Podcast

Your Bidding War Secret Weapon Lives Nextdoor

Season 1 Episode 10

Inspection week is where most sellers lose $10,000–$15,000—not because of real problems, but because they don’t know how to respond. In this episode, I give you the exact sentences that shut down exaggerated repair lists, protect your equity, and turn “scary” inspection reports into simple, reasonable conversations.

You’ll learn:
* How to sort inspection items into negotiable vs not negotiable
* The pre-listing inspection move that prevents 80% of buyer drama
* The sentence that forces buyers to prove their claims (and makes fake repair lists disappear)
* How to shut down upgrade requests on items that are old but working
* The “release the earnest money” line that instantly flips the power dynamic
* Why credits beat repairs every time — cleaner, cheaper, and faster

If inspection week has ever made you feel bullied, overwhelmed, or backed into a corner — this episode hands you your power back.
