What Real Estate Agents Need to Know

The Form 35R
Repair Response Window

When a buyer submits NWMLS Form 35R citing structural inspection findings, the seller's response window is short and the wrong decision is expensive. Here is the decision framework and where we fit in.

What Is NWMLS Form 35R?

Form 35R — the NWMLS Inspection Addendum — is the Washington State real estate form used to document a buyer's repair requests following a home inspection. Once submitted, the seller must respond within the timeframe specified in the purchase and sale agreement, typically 3–5 business days.

Structural findings on Form 35R — dry rot, crawl space damage, sill plate deterioration, sagging floors, deck structural deficiencies — carry the most transaction risk because a credit cannot always resolve them. FHA and VA lenders may require completed repairs with licensed contractor documentation before the loan closes, regardless of what the parties agree to on the Form 35R response.

We respond to Form 35R structural findings by providing a written scope, fixed pricing, and a timeline commitment — in a format agents and escrow can use immediately.

Seller Option A

Refuse the Request

Buyer typically terminates or re-negotiates from a stronger position. Most structural findings are real — refusing them doesn't make them disappear from the next inspection.

Seller Option B

Offer a Credit

Buyer inflates the credit ask to price in uncertainty. Lender may still require completed repairs before funding regardless of the credit. Risk of lender hold remains open.

Seller Option C — Best Outcome

Complete the Repairs

Licensed GC documentation kills the re-negotiation leverage, clears lender conditions, and closes the transaction on schedule. Net proceeds preserved. Deal stays alive.

What We Fix

Form 35R Structural Findings
We Handle in Tacoma

These are the inspection findings that appear most frequently on Pierce County home inspection reports and generate Form 35R repair requests. All direct GC scope performed under WA GC License APCONL*825QO.

GC Direct

Dry Rot & Wood Rot

Full excision and structural rebuild — sill plates, rim joists, exterior framing, deck framing, window and door surrounds. Not surface patching. Lender-grade documentation included.

GC Direct

Crawl Space Structural

Sagging floors, deteriorated joists, damaged sill plates, post and beam failures. Full structural repair with moisture correction — not cosmetic improvement that re-triggers at next inspection.

GC Direct

Floor Joist Repair

Sistering, partial replacement, or full joist replacement. Soft, bouncy, or sloping floors — root cause identified and structurally resolved, not shimmed and covered over.

GC Direct

Sill Plate & Rim Joist

One of the most common Pierce County structural findings on pre-1980 homes. Replaced with pressure-treated material and moisture barrier — documented to FHA/VA standard.

GC Direct

Deck & Balcony Structural

Ledger connections, post bases, beam and joist rot, handrail deficiencies. Structural repair to current code — not cosmetic refinishing that fails the follow-up inspection.

GC Direct

Subfloor Replacement

Delaminated or deteriorated subfloor from moisture or rot. Full removal and replacement — not coverage with new flooring over a substrate that will fail within 12 months.

GC Direct

Roof Framing & Rafters

Deteriorated rafter tails, fascia framing rot, and structural sheathing damage. Scoped and repaired under GC license with completion documentation.

GC Coordinated

Plumbing & Electrical

Licensed plumbing (RCW 18.106) and electrical contractors (RCW 19.28) coordinated under GC oversight for trade-specific Form 35R findings. GC manages scope, timeline, and lender documentation.

Lender Hold Risk

Foundation & Structural Load

Foundation findings and load-path concerns assessed on site. We identify what is direct GC repair scope versus what requires a licensed structural engineer referral — before pricing anything.

Agent Workflow

Report In.
Scoped. Priced. Closed.

Every step in our process is designed to produce a transaction deliverable — not contractor output that the agent has to translate for escrow.

Email the inspection report, Form 35R, and the closing date to [email protected] or call 253-891-9622. We review findings same day and confirm whether the scope is direct GC work, coordinated trade work, or requires a structural engineer referral.

2

Common Questions

Form 35R & Inspection Repair
Questions We Get From Agents

NWMLS Form 35R is the Inspection Addendum used in Washington State real estate transactions to document a buyer's repair requests following inspection. When a buyer submits Form 35R citing structural findings — dry rot, crawl space damage, sill plate deterioration, sagging floors, deck structural problems — the seller has three options: complete the repairs, offer a credit, or refuse. We respond to Form 35R structural findings by providing written scope, fixed lump-sum pricing, a timeline commitment for closing, and lender-ready completion documentation upon job completion.
We prioritize transactions with defined closing deadlines. After receiving the inspection report and Form 35R, we schedule the $350 on-site diagnostic as quickly as our calendar permits — typically within 1–3 business days. Written scope and fixed pricing is delivered within 48 hours of the diagnostic. Repair timeline depends on scope, but most structural inspection findings in Tacoma and Pierce County can be completed within 5–10 business days after scope confirmation.
Yes. Repair completion documentation includes scope performed, materials used, GC license number APCONL*825QO, and date of completion — formatted to satisfy FHA, VA, and conventional lender repair conditions. We deliver documentation at job completion, not days later. Agents and escrow officers receive it same day the work is finished.
For structural findings, completed repairs almost always produce a better outcome than credits. A credit leaves the problem unresolved — the buyer's FHA or VA lender may hold the loan regardless of the credit amount. A lender hold on structural findings cannot be resolved with money; it requires completed, documented repairs by a licensed contractor. Separately: buyers consistently inflate credit demands to account for unknowns. A seller who provides completed repairs with written GC documentation removes that uncertainty entirely, which preserves more net proceeds than the equivalent credit.
Direct GC scope under license APCONL*825QO: dry rot and wood rot excision and structural rebuild, crawl space structural repair, floor joist sistering and replacement, sill plate and rim joist repair, subfloor repair and replacement, deck and balcony structural repair, roof framing and rafter repair, exterior structural framing rot repair, and window and door framing replacement. We coordinate licensed plumbing (RCW 18.106) and electrical contractors (RCW 19.28) under GC oversight for trade-specific inspection findings.
Yes. We communicate directly with listing agents, buyer's agents, transaction coordinators, and escrow officers throughout the repair process. We know what format each party needs at each stage of the transaction and we produce documentation in that format. We do not need the agent to relay information — direct communication is faster and reduces the risk of timeline miscommunication.
