Seller not responding to inspection requests

I’m either dealing with a stubborn seller or a shady seller’s agent/broker. Placed offer on decent duplex. Inspection report found issues including roof, railing not up to code, electrical issues, and other smaller items. We asked to have the electrical issues repaired and railings brought up to code. Seller not responding and seller agent not doing her job. She procrastinated to the last day which forced us to terminate the deal. My agent suggested we terminate and renegotiate. Any advice?

congratulations @Denise Pauzano

The seller is most likely not as motivated as you, and knows you're getting a good deal. And you made a good choice by knocking off the price instead of having them fix certain issues.

Even if they agree to fix anything, it's most likely going to be the cheapest route and not to your expectations.
