Home inspector’s only obligation is to report to the person/co. hiring him/her, and report honestly on what was found.
It’s NOT his business to be “telling” anybody to call a contractor, etc., nor is it business to see that one is called or that repairs are made.
The buyer and seller can contract as they choose to ignore, repair, etc, and at who’s cost.
