"the next buyer got a different home inspector who dinged the home for
having a GFCI on the sump pump. ( I had installed one to make the
first buyer happy) neither inspector found the very loose light box
mounting on garage light, i had left it loose so they would have
something to find......

"home inspectors the buyers best friend the sellers worst enemy./"

The home inspection process just gives a timid buyer other ways of
expressing "buyers remorse!"

The buyers who bulk at a GFCI on an outlet likely weren't serious in the
first place. But you CAN simply say that as a part of the settlement you
are willing to pay a reasonable estimate of the cost to change what they
don't like. That will bring a serious buyer back to the table but the
timid buyers will not come back.

Frankly, a good real estate agent should have worked that out. If yours
didn't get a new agent.

Frankly, the same technique can work for most "problems" found by an
inspector or on the walk-thru. Either say NO or offer to pay a portion or
all of the estimated cost of making the repair/change. Don't get into the
trap of attempting to "fix" your house beyond your original intentions.
For all you know, a perfectly good buyer out there would like your house
EXACTLY as it is.
