Here’s the issue you face… Whether you’re selling or buying a home, you need the transaction to go smoothly and ensure there are no major issues with the home prior to the listing or the purchase.
Having a major issue with the home that is found in a home inspection during a real estate transaction can be quite stressful for both the home buyer and the seller.
Buyers can run scared due to a major issue or a laundry list of small issues found during the home inspection process, while home sellers can be caught off guard during the buyer’s inspection and lose their negotiating power.
