Are you searching for a home and feeling frustrated with the process? It might be tempting to purchase a bargain-priced property "as is" and skip the home inspection. But without the inspection report, do you truly know what "as is" means? Wouldn’t it be better to understand the condition of the home before making a decision?

The inspection contingency provides the buyer with the opportunity to hire a licensed home inspector within three to seven days after the purchase agreement is signed. The inspector will thoroughly assess the property, evaluating the condition of key systems and structures to identify any material defects that could impact the home’s market value or safety.

The inspection report is the only documented evidence of the actual condition of the property being sold. It is an invaluable tool that can help you negotiate the terms of the sale and provide insights into potential future maintenance needs. The cost of the inspection is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it offers.
