How does a home appraisal and inspection help a home buyer?

Hello Michael, well if its appraisal comes in less than the purchase price that helps the buyer, not the seller, but in today's market the seller is in control of everything, feel free to contact me I will be happy to answer all your questions.

Great question Michael, A home inspection gives you peace of mind knowing if the home has transaction-cancelling issues. The main purpose of the appraisal is to protect the bank because they pick the appraiser to protect the investment they're making on the property.

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. I run a 25 broker team selling well over 150 million annually and do over 400+ transactions so pretty savvy when it comes to different scenarios. Good luck with your journey!

An inspection helps the home buyer learn about the home. A home inspector will also see if there are any major things that could be wrong with the home. Appraisal are usually required by lenders and the only time it could help the buyer is when the home does not appraise.
