The Inspection Process
THE BUYER'S RIGHT TO INSPECT
According to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the buyer can have your home inspected by a professional before closing. The contract specifies when the inspection will occur after the offer is accepted and that the closing is contingent upon a satisfactory inspection in certain cases. The buyer pays for the inspection, and the seller is advised to be absent during the inspection. NOTE: As the seller, you can market your home "as is," but the buyer may still have the property inspected. A proactive approach to anticipating the inevitable will be time and money well spent. A pre-sale home inspection can identify potential issues and be a sales tool. A professional inspection report presented next to the disclosure helps inspire confidence in the potential buyer.
