Inspections & Appraisals

Contingencies: The Guardrails of a Binding Deal

Contingencies are the elegant conditions that must be fulfilled before your contract solidifies into law. Buyers typically weave in protections around inspections, financing, or document reviews; smart safeguards that keep the process balanced and transparent.

Before your buyer claims the keys, they’ll methodically complete their due diligence:

• Securing financing and appropriate insurance
• Thoroughly examining all key documents, preliminary title reports, disclosures, and beyond
• Conducting inspections across every critical aspect of the property: roof, pest/termite, chimney, boundary survey, well/septic systems, pool/spa, mold, lead paint, HVAC, arborist reports, and more

When inspection findings spark a request for renegotiation, the moment calls for poise, fairness, and unflinching advocacy. This is precisely where an exceptional listing agent shines, skillfully protecting your interests while preserving deal momentum. Our seasoned professionals have navigated countless scenarios, bringing calm authority and strategic insight to every negotiation, ensuring your outcome reflects the full value of your property.

Loan Approval and Appraisal: Prioritizing Strength

We always counsel accepting offers backed by solid evidence of financing: a lender’s pre-approval letter, formal approval, or written commitment. These carry far greater weight than mere pre-qualifications, signaling a buyer ready to close with certainty.

Anticipate a licensed appraiser, dispatched by the lender, to independently assess your property. Their expert evaluation confirms the agreed price aligns with true market value, another layer of assurance that strengthens the entire transaction.
