I received a phone call this morning.
"We've put in a conditional purchase agreement for a resale home and are having second thoughts. We understand that if we get a home inspection, we can get out of the purchase agreement. Is that correct?" What would you say? Nalliah Thayabharan Expert Building Inspections Ltd Markham ON |

It is not your responsibility to "help" them out of a jam. They may have other conditions that they can fall back on, like financing. This is a problem they should be bringing to their Realtor, not you. |

I report, you decide.
The report will be factual. Use it as you deem necessary, you're the customer. |

HELLO, who do you think is putting them up to asking us?
Duh, the Realtor! Once a Buyer's "Conditional Purchase Offer" is delivered, about the only way to get out of/recind that offer is with a H/I or death. A H/I is always up to interprtation, and I'm not sure death will get you out of the offer. I can see Seller/Realtor Rep. saying that won't break the deal and try to go after your estate. The Realtor gets frustrated with the Clients change of mind. He/She knows the Seller won't accept a change of mind, knows Buyer won't get earnest money back...so get the H/I to write a report that will sink the ship. From the old Hillstreet Blues Show...Hey, you be careful out there! |

I see nothing wrong with them getting out of the contract using the inspection rider and I see nothing wrong with an inspector accepting the job.

Wasn't this the question?
"We understand that if we get a home inspection, we can get out of the purchase agreement. Is that correct?" Is the home inspector going to render an opinion on how, when and under what circumstances the buyer can opt out of the purchase agreement? I know I'm not..... |

Whats funny is that a couple of buyers agents around here will only use me when they want to get out of a contract....that is....They know I am thorough and I guess they think I will always find something to negotiate. Its too bad because I am just doing a good job and of course they will call me when its their personal house they want inspected.

We are in business to help people with their largest investment.At a minimum talk these people into a home inspection. We have insurance for a reason,regardless of whether or not a realtor has prompted this question, it sounds obvious the realtor was trying to get these people to close without an inspection. So quote them a big price and go play superman , be the hero!! If all you worry about is littigation than your not giving your customers your best foot foward..

I had more than one husband call me and tell me that he wanted
to use my inspection report to convince his wife not to buy the house. The wife would not believe him, but would believe a third party inspection report. I don't really care one way or the other. I inspect all of em the same, regardless. It is funny though when I make a comment about how nice the house looks and the husband is giving me the "cut your throat sign"... LOL. I inspect... the Client decides what to do with it. John McKenna, CMI

A home inspection provides you with a disinterested third party report of the conditions of the home for your use in this process and I would be happy to provide that for you. |
