My short answer is that it really depends on today’s market conditions. It almost seems like every buyer is currently waiving inspections to compete with other buyers. However, real estate agents are not home inspectors.
While many homebuyers and sellers rely on their agent for sound advice,
here’s my take:
Generally, a home inspection provides valuable information about a house that you might not otherwise know, especially regarding necessary repairs.
The simple exercise of attending a home inspection, paying the inspector, and asking questions is crucial.
You’ve already paid the professional for their advice, and I highly recommend that homeowners attend the inspection to continue asking questions and observing the property. This knowledge is invaluable and helps you become a more informed buyer or seller.
