Were you able to contact the owners about my counter-offer?
Yes, please have a seat, and we'll discuss this right now.
I hope that they accepted the counter-offer.
The counter-offer was acceptable to them, but they want you to pay for the home inspection.
Will the home inspection cost me a lot?
It can cost as little as five hundred dollars and as much as one thousand dollars.
Is it my choice as to who inspects this house?
Yes, it is your choice as you are paying for it. Make a wise investment and choose the best inspector you can find.
How long until you contact the sellers with my acceptance?
Let's call them right now. I am sure that they will be happy to hear that you have agreed to pay for the inspection.
