In this re-recorded (and much calmer) version of our infamous inspection episode, we unpack one of real estate’s most misunderstood , and most emotional topics: inspections and mutual releases. From “stacked” inspection responses to the definition of a true defect under Indiana law, they break down real-life scenarios, share personal stories, and reflect on lessons learned when emotions ran high.

Tune in as we get real about:

• What actually counts as a defect (and what definitely doesn’t)

• When buyers actually risk losing their earnest money

• Why agent education and expectation-setting can save everyone’s sanity

• The pros and cons of attending inspections and choosing the right inspector

• How to handle “as-is” deals without losing leverage

This one’s equal parts therapy session, masterclass, and unfiltered behind-the-scenes of what really goes down when an inspection gets messy.
