AS-IS No Inspection Contingency: You Have Options

If you’re reading this, you know how competitive the housing market is in Middle Tennessee. We are continuing to set new records month after month. As it continues to be competitive, more and more buyers are waiving their home inspection to make their offer more attractive. Even when a buyer is granted either a home or sewer scope inspection, it often comes with a no contingency clause. Your Realtor is an advocate for you. They may suggest you put in an offer without a home inspection contingency, but they should advise you to still get an inspection for your best interest.

The market at some point will return to a more even state so that buyers can have a professional and thorough home inspection done before making one of the largest purchases of their lives. Until then, we have to live in the “New Normal” (Man I do not like that phrase after the last 2 years). The good news? You have options. A Home Inspection without a contingency or Post Close Inspections are two great alternatives to the standard home inspection.

Once you have an accepted offer, your agent can arrange with the seller to still have a home inspection performed with you knowing that the property is sold as-is and no fixes will be made. While we cannot roll back time for your transaction, we can still give you the same quality and thorough home inspection you would have received before closing on your new home with a Post Close Inspection. More and more clients are finding that a post close inspection allows them to find the unknown deficiencies in their home so they can begin to prioritize what they need to do to keep small problems from becoming significant problems.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or have already closed on your home, Hamilton Home Inspections has you covered. We take pride in our work, and we value the relationships that we build with our clients. For a free, no-obligation quote, give us a call today at (615)681-0845.
