Although we do not recommend waiving a home inspection, and encourage all buyers to get home inspections before closing on their home, or worst case - before moving in to their home, we completely understand the logic behind waiving the inspection contingency. An alternative option, especially for new home buyers, is a walk-through inspection.  During a walk-through our licensed home inspector will perform a visual walk-through providing verbal commentary on our opinion of the home's condition.

Walk-Through Inspections Can Give Buyers Confidence in a Competitive Market

When the inventory of homes is so limited and buyers are competing over a limited supply, making offers on homes can become very competitive. Can you imagine paying $40,000 over listing price and waiving the home inspection? Unfortunately, that scenario has been playing out more often. As long as these conditions continue, having our home inspector walk through the home with you before making an offer can provide you with the extra confidence you need in this competitive market.
