Tips For Home Sellers

Can I sell my home without a building inspection? In most cases, buyers will request a building inspection as part of the purchasing process.

If your home is found to have a number of defects during the building inspection and the buyer is requesting repairs or a price reduction, it is generally possible to negotiate.

While it is generally recommended that a home be inspected before it is listed for sale, it is not necessarily a requirement. However, if the home does have any known issues that may be identified during the inspection, it is important to disclose these to potential buyers.
Can a real estate agent recommend a building inspector to a client? Real estate agents may be able to recommend a building inspector to their clients, but it is ultimately up to the client to choose the inspector they feel most comfortable with.
