Book inside the contingency window
Leave time for access issues, report review, and any follow-up bid instead of scheduling at the deadline.
Share occupancy and access details
The technician needs the property address and usable sewer access; agents can help coordinate entry and seller communication.
Review separate scopes of work
A general home report and sewer report answer different questions and should remain separately identifiable in the transaction file.
Use findings for informed negotiation
The report documents observed conditions; buyers and their representatives decide how those facts affect the transaction.
