The answer to this question is not so complex to me, as your realtor, but for a buyer it is somewhat confusing.
While other agents may advise their buyers to waive inspections – I don’t. Waiving inspections can mean one of two things.
1. You’re not conducting inspections at all (which I am highly against)
OR
2. You’ll have an inspection done but you will not ask for anything.
Note: This doesn’t mean you have to proceed with the sale if something major is discovered. There are legalities to consider and under the advice of your attorney, and my guidance, a solution can be figured out even if that means the dreaded “cancellation”.
I will never advise you “not to have an inspection “- it is your right to have one.
It is your right to know what you are buying.
It is also your right, as a buyer, to make an educated decision on whether or not you want to proceed.
I have a clause I put in all of my offers which sellers appreciate and buyers agree with.
If you’d like to know what that clause is, reach out to me….
The next hot topic to be discussed is “Appraisals”.
Should you guarantee the appraisal? What does this mean?
Do you have to waive the appraisal?
What is the seller thinking in the present market compared to the first half of 2021?
