For instance some rotted wood on the exterior, minor cracks in grout or sheetrock are not really causes for alarm. However, water damage, issues with HVAC, leaks, and foundation problems are all items that need to be corrected.

When asking for concessions you need to consider a few things :

-Are you getting a deal or market price? If you are already getting a below market price, then do not expect to get very many concessions. If you are paying top dollar, then ask for things to be taken care of.

-How motivated is the seller? If the property has been on the market for months, they will likely say yes to more repairs. If its only been on the market for a few days, dont expect to get too much. BUT, it never hurts to ask.

There are several things you can ask for during the inspection period and in regards to the inspection. I make sure to always send over the inspection with your "ask" so that you have proof of the things you are asking for.

1) You can ask for repairs to be done. Note, a seller may not want to deal with this or know how. If that is the case then move to 2)
2) You can ask for the Seller to lower the sales price, but the estimated price of the repairs.
3) You can ask the seller to contribute towards the buyers closing costs. Often this will put more money directly into the buyers pocket so they can pay for the repairs. If you lower a sales price by $1-2k it does not really afect their mortgage. But $1-2k towards closing costs will come directly from the amount they need to bring at closing.

Submit your requests to the listing agent and be prepared to compromise. Also tell your clients that they may not get any concessions at all and may need to be prepared to walk away or accept the house as is.
