Get a 2nd opinion. In most places, you can do your own work,
within some limits. Find out for sure rather than trusting
a real estate jockey for legal advice.
It is no big loss to not be able to list the basement living
area. Few buyers count below grade space as real living
space. I doubt too many people are going to be impressed with
the house just because it has some finished area in the basement.
