The seller can then say,

The seller can then say, “Well, we will stop the door from squeaking for you” or “We do not want to actually repair the door but we will give you a credit or some cash back so that you can repair the door yourself” or they can refuse to do anything. Then it goes back to the buyer and he has to decide what he wants to do based on the seller’s response.
I usually advise my clients to take the credit.

In the event that the inspector discovers something

In the event that the inspector discovers something that is outside his scope of service or expertise, like a crack in the chimney, he will advise that you contact a specialist to look further into that particular situation.
The physical inspection is usually a contingency of the sale. Say, for instance, that the inspector discovers that the front door squeaks. The buyer then has to think about how important that is to him. The buyer then has several options - he can say that there is no way that he can live in a house with a squeaking door and so he can back out of the deal or he can ask the seller to repair the squeak.

A good inspector should

A good inspector should go over all the systems of the house and check their well being and condition. He should look at the electrical system, the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, the roof and the foundation, the attic, the pool and spa, the garage, the grounds, the attic and the fireplace.

He searched the Internet and found an inspector that he liked

He searched the Internet and found an inspector that he liked. “He came highly recommended and we get two inspectors for the price of one,” he told me. When the inspectors arrived, one was wearing open-toed sandals that you might wear to the beach instead of the work boots you might expect. The other man didn’t do any inspections but rather just took notes from the observations of the other inspector.

When she returned

When she returned from her vacation she returned his numerous voice mail messages and apologized; but the attorney was so angry, he fired the virtual assistant and hired someone else.
Although incidents like this can occur with any salaried employee, I didn't find it alarming enough to prevent me from hiring virtual assistants. The main reason I enjoy working with them is that if they don't work out (for whatever reason) I can easily find a replacement and there is no financial loss to the law firm. I only pay after satisfactory services are rendered.
Matt: Did you have your virtual assistant sign any type of confidentiality agreement before they started working on your client's cases?

some states, the services provided by virtual assistants
were recorded under "office expenses" for tax purposes. Other states required the business owner to
issue a 1099 at the end of the year if the virtual assistant was paid more than $600.00. But regardless of
