Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

home inspector missed major defect. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
