[quote=walterwhite]Thanks. Good idea. But I counted a lot of times and we sure seem to be wthin the inspection contingency. How irritated do I have a right to be at the realtor who didn’t push me to have a septic inspection. I recall bring the one who brought it up and him asking if I wanted one, also talk of home warranties and “not worrying about everything”. I don’t think this is covered by a warranty although I only cursorily read it.

Is it going to be possible to be 110 percent certain the job can be done ????[/quote]

You have a right to be irritated, but let’s face it. It happens all the time…And not just with RE purchases. Unrelated, I was spending $350/hr+ with an attorney over some litigation, drafting settlements,etc…And every single time, I had to send the drafts back because either my name was misspelled, the other party’s name was misspelled, or some obvious omissions and simple grammatical errors. It wasn’t the attorney’s fault that the paralegal was a complete idiot. But still, I was like “why am I paying $YYY/hr AMD still spending my time proofreading and correcting stupid errors that shouldn’t happen in the first place AND then paying extra for the attorney/paralegal to correct those errors???”

More of the story: rarely would someone else look after your interest if you don’t take care of it yourself.
