Inspections & Appraisals

Most buyers will engage a licensed property inspector to verify that the condition of the property matches what is represented in the contract. Inspection timelines will be defined in the Purchase Agreement. Some buyers elect to bring in separate inspectors to evaluate specific systems such as roofing, plumbing, or HVAC.

If the buyer is financing their purchase, a licensed appraiser will also review the property on behalf of the lending institution. Because the agreement is contingent on financing, the lender requires independent confirmation that the loan amount is supported by the property's value.

The Closing Agent

A title company or attorney will serve as the closing agent, responsible for examining the recorded history of your property and certifying that the title is free of encumbrances such as unresolved leases, liens, or restrictions before the transfer of ownership can take place.

What else you should know...

Contingencies

A contingency is a condition that must be satisfied before a contract becomes legally binding. Buyers will typically include contingencies related to the results of inspections or the successful securing of financing.

Before completing the purchase, the buyer will work through the following steps:

Securing financing and insurance
Reviewing all relevant documents, including preliminary title reports and disclosure materials
Inspecting the property across whatever scope they determine appropriate, which may include roof, termite and pest, chimney, property boundary, well, septic, pool and spa, arborist, mold, lead-based paint, and HVAC evaluations

How do you respond when a buyer requests renegotiation based on inspection findings?

When a buyer requests renegotiation based on inspection findings, responding in a way that is both fair and protective of your position requires experience and composure. This is where our specialists make a meaningful difference. We have navigated these situations across a wide range of transactions, and we bring that expertise to every conversation.

Loan Approval And Appraisal

We recommend working with buyers who come prepared with a lender's pre-approval letter or written loan commitment rather than a simple pre-qualification. These provide a more reliable indication that financing will close. Expect the lender to send an appraiser to verify that the agreed sales price is supported by the property's current market value.

Tips For Selling Your Home

Give Your House a Deep Clean

First impressions carry real weight. Before your property goes to market, it should be in its best possible condition from floor to ceiling. That means cleaned bathrooms, wiped surfaces, mopped floors, freshened rugs, and scrubbed tile. Consider bringing in professional cleaners to ensure nothing is overlooked. A property that feels cared for communicates something important to every buyer who walks through the door.

Declutter The Home

When a space is clear and organized, buyers can focus on what matters: the property itself. Clutter competes with the features you want them to notice. Buyers need room to imagine their own lives unfolding in the space, and that becomes much easier when the home feels open, intentional, and well-maintained.

Call a Handyman

Deferred maintenance signals risk to buyers. Addressing repairs before listing gives buyers confidence that the property has been properly cared for, and it removes points of friction during inspection and negotiation. A well-maintained property commands more interest, stronger offers, and a smoother transaction overall.
