The updated addendum creates a well-defined, step-by-step workflow with clear deadlines based on working days:

1. Inspections: Completed within the timeframe specified in the contract (defaulting to 7 working days from the Confirmation Date if left blank).

2. Buyer Request: Within 3 working days after the inspection period ends, the buyer delivers an itemized Request for Repairs form along with complete copies of all inspection reports to the seller.

3. Seller Response: Within 3 working days of receiving the request, the seller must respond in writing, agreeing to all, some, or none of the requested repairs. If the seller fails to respond within this window, they are deemed to have agreed to the requested repairs.

4. Buyer’s Options: If the seller declines or offers to make only some repairs, the buyer has 2 working days to choose one of three paths:

   • Accept the seller’s decision and proceed to closing.

   • Submit a new repair request for negotiation.

   • Terminate the contract in writing.
