My inspector found $3k in hidden water damage the sellers 'forgot' to mention
He used a moisture meter behind the bathroom vanity and the reading was off the charts. Anyone else get a nasty surprise during their final walkthrough?

Actually, the final walkthrough is usually too late to get credits or renegotiate. That's more for checking the house is empty and the agreed fixes are done. The time to push for a repair credit was during the inspection period. Still, the agent should definitely try, but the sellers have a lot less reason to play ball now.

Our inspector found a similar issue under the kitchen sink, cost about two grand to fix. You need to get your agent to go back to the sellers right now and ask for a credit. Do not close until this is sorted out, they clearly knew about it. That kind of hidden damage is a major red flag for what else they might have covered up.
