Our report will tell you the condition of the house, including needed repairs and expenses. No house is going to be perfect. It is up to you to decide how any issues the inspection uncovers might affect your decision to purchase. If major issues are discovered, you may want to try negotiating with the seller to have them repaired before closing the deal. Or perhaps the seller will lower the price, or offer more favorable contract terms. Part of your Realtor’s job is to help you interpret or decide the best course of action for your transaction. In the end, the decision rests with you, but knowing about potential issues, before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate and make the best decisions.
