Buyer Repair Lists in Columbus, Ohio

Transit & Flow Group completes repairs a homebuyer has requested as a condition of closing, negotiated through the purchase agreement after their own inspection. This service is defined by who’s asking: the buyer, working through their agent, requesting specific items be fixed before the transaction closes. Request Property Support with the buyer’s repair request, or call (614) 382-0000.

Is this what you’re seeing?

• A purchase agreement with a repair addendum listing specific items the buyer wants completed
• A closing date that depends on those repairs being finished and documented in time
• A seller who agreed to complete repairs but needs a contractor who can move on the transaction’s timeline, not a general queue
• A buyer’s agent asking for proof of completion before the closing walkthrough
• A repair list that touches several systems (roof, electrical, plumbing, exterior) under one negotiated agreement
• Uncertainty about whether it’s cheaper or faster to complete the work versus offer a credit instead

How pricing works

Buyer Repair Lists uses starting and range pricing, scoped from the specific items in the repair addendum:

• Small, defined repair items (a handful of straightforward fixes) price toward the lower end of a starting range and move quickest.
• Larger or multi-trade lists price as a fuller scope, itemized so you can see exactly what’s driving the total.
• Timeline drives scheduling. Closing dates are fixed, so we prioritize buyer repair list work against your deadline rather than a general repair queue.
• What can change the number: hidden conditions found once repairs start (for example, a “minor” roof leak that turns out to involve more decking than visible from the ground), which we document with photos and price separately before proceeding.

As general market context, not a Transit & Flow quote, Redfin reported that 46.2 percent of U.S. home sellers gave buyers concessions in May 2026, a category that includes money toward repairs alongside closing costs and rate buydowns, up from 43.1 percent the year before. That’s the broader trend this service sits inside: a large share of transactions now involve some form of negotiated repair or credit, and completed, documented repairs are often the cleaner path to a closing than an open-ended cash concession. Request Property Support with the repair addendum for a starting range. Final scope and price subject to verification once we’ve reviewed the property or repair list.

What’s included

• Review of the specific repair items in the purchase agreement or addendum
• A written, itemized starting range for the requested work
• Scheduling prioritized against your closing date
• Photo documentation of each completed item, before and after
• A completion summary suitable for the buyer’s agent or the closing walkthrough

What’s not included

• The buyer’s home inspection itself, performed separately by a licensed inspector
• Negotiation over which items make the final repair addendum; that’s between the buyer, seller, and their agents
• Repairs outside the negotiated list (handled as a separate scope if the seller or buyer wants additional work done)
• Environmental testing or remediation, such as radon, mold, or asbestos; not services Transit & Flow performs

How this differs from Inspection and Seller Repair Lists

Buyer Repair Lists is defined by who’s requesting the work: the buyer, as a condition of closing. This is different from Inspection Repair Lists, which is defined by its source (the inspection report itself, regardless of which side requested it), and from Seller Repair Lists, which covers repairs a seller chooses to complete, either pre-listing or in response to a buyer’s request after their own inspection. In practice, a buyer’s inspection report is very often the same document driving both an Inspection Repair List and a Buyer Repair List. If you’re not sure which page describes your situation, any of the three will get you to the right scope, since we cross-reference all of them to the same underlying repair work.

Central Ohio context

Closing timelines in Central Ohio’s active market don’t leave much room for a repair vendor who can’t move quickly. Buyers purchasing older homes in neighborhoods like Clintonville, German Village, or Bexley tend to generate longer, more varied repair addendums, original systems, roofing, and foundation-adjacent items shaped by our freeze-thaw winters and clay soil. Buyers in newer construction across Dublin, New Albany, and Grove City typically negotiate shorter, more targeted lists. Either way, a buyer repair list that clears before the scheduled closing walkthrough keeps the transaction moving, which is why we scope these against your actual closing date rather than a general project queue.

Our process

1. Request Property Support and share the repair addendum along with your closing date.
2. Scope review. We confirm the specific items and any timeline constraints with you or the agent.
3. Written starting range. Itemized, so it’s clear what’s included and what would be additional.
4. Scheduled repair work. Prioritized against your closing date, with pause points if hidden conditions change the scope.
5. Completion documentation. Photos and a written summary ready for the closing walkthrough or the buyer’s agent.
