Imagine you found a home that felt tailor-made for you.
But even with all its charm, the home inspection turned up some issues–nothing like foundation cracks or a leaky roof, but still issues that needed attention.
You felt uneasy about it until your real estate agent assured you that this is not out of the ordinary. In fact, in 86% of cases, home inspectors find issues that need attention.
It’s all part of the buying process — and exactly why a thorough home inspection is essential. After all, it’s better to find issues now (and know if they’re major) than after you’ve signed on the dotted line.
After inspection it’s not uncommon to renegotiate with the seller. Most of the time we are able to come to a compromise. And even if we aren’t, buyers still have the option to pull their offer.
Situations like this highlight the importance of having a trusted and experienced agent by your side.
