Home inspection is not mandatory even through in my opinion EXTREMELY important and is done during the attorney review/due diligence period. This is when you'll learn more about the condition of the home and make a decision to either proceed, back out or negotiate credits/repairs with the seller. The Appraisal is done during the mortgage contingency process and is required by the lender to make sure the value of the property is at or above the sales price. This helps a buyer to make sure theyre not over paying for the property. Hope this helps! if you have any other questions, I can be reached at 773-516-1111.

Hi according to NAR a property will sell for more money and quicker if it is move in ready and staged. It's always a good idea to stage no matter the market in my opinion especially if youre trying to maximize the value.

Hi! inspection is a buyer's expense and normally takes place during the attorney review/due diligence period. Even though it is not mandatory, and we're seeing a lot of buyers waiving home inspection in this market, in my opinion it is EXTREMELY important to have a full understanding of the property youre planning on purchasing. The inspector will do a through inspection of the exterior, interior, roofing, appliances, plumbing, electric, etc. Based on the inspection, a buyer will decide if its a good idea to proceed with the sale, back out or request repair credits from the sellers. It's a good idea to have the report on you so you know what items to repair or focus on after the sale takes place. Hope this helps! if you have any other questions, I can be reached at 773-516-1111.

Hi! its always a good idea to do a final walk through prior to heading to the closing table (or as close as possible to closing). You want to make sure that there was no damage done to the property during the move or while it was sitting vacant. Once signed and closed, it is almost impossible to request credit from the sellers for any damages.
