Seller's agent saying he doesn't want to put any money in until after the inspection contingency is waived, But how do I guarantee the work gets done? This includes not doing the termite inspection. I'm going to send a request for repairs form. How should I include any repairs related to termite report?

You should consult with your broker then.

Im unclear what your question is exactly?
Send a request for repairs if you want if you are in your inspection period.

I want any damages/fumigation related to termite to be handled by the seller. I just want to be sure I write this out correctly in the request for repairs form.

Do you have an agent? They should be doing that. If not, then you should hire an attorney for this

Here's what I would do or instruct my attorney to do. You should have the contract modified laying out all that you want the seller to take care of due to the inspection. If the seller agrees to the contract modification, you can close the inspection contingency. Make sure the language added to the contract includes being able to reinspect to ensure that the work has been done and/or receiving a certification or receipt from a professional providing proof the work has been done.
