It's hard to advise without all the info. Is the roof at the end of the life expectancy, because it's a 3 tab 15 year shingle? Is it a 30 year 3 tab with some life left? Usually the home inspector will say the roof has some wear and should be inspected by a roofer. I guess w/o having more info, I'd say call a roofer and get an opinion. If there is weather damage, it's pretty common for the seller to put an insurance claim in. All repairs are negotiable (so you aren't required to replace/repair a leaking roof), but you have to ask yourself, if the roof does need to be replaced would the next buyer be willing to accept it "As-Is" or would you be better working it out with the existing buyer.
Whatever happens, good luck with your sale!

I watched several actually. They all just started playing. I would never advise anyone to file an insurance claim unless it was a catastrophe. That's is what insurance is for. I would lose my claim free discount as well as risk my chances being limited to obtaining good insurance on my new house. I have a roofer coming hopefully after the holiday to repair the patch. It's a 3o year arch, it still has some life left.
