Contractor playbook

What most buyers do vs. how a DUFFY buyer handles it.

Most buyers ask for a verbal or vague text estimate.

DUFFY buyers demand a formal itemized PDF quote broken down by labor, materials, scope, and timing.

A formal PDF estimate can support your Amendment to Address Defects and gives the seller less room to argue the price.

Most buyers use a contractor suggested by the seller or listing agent.

DUFFY buyers hire an independent professional from the DUFFY Preferred Vendor Shortlist.

The seller's contractor has incentive to make the repair sound cheap and minor. Your contractor protects your equity.

Most buyers agree to a massive upfront deposit just to get an estimate on paper.

DUFFY buyers work with reputable trades who provide free or low-cost diagnostic quotes for pending buyers.

This keeps your out-of-pocket cash protected before you officially own the home.
