[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never ever waive inspection. Never waived in the past and will never waive in the future. And I've bought 11 homes in the last 30 years in HCOL areas. FSBOs are my specialty.[/quote]

That's a lot of moving. Sorry for your children.

[b]When we bought our house, we had an inspection but said that we wouldn't ask for the owner to fix anything (we did have the option to walk though if there was something major found).[/b][b] I think that eased her fears about this costing her more money.[/b] The prev owner of our home maintained it well, but was moving into a more expensive home, so she didn't want to spend any money on this one.[/quote]

That isn't really why sellers choose the offers that waive inspection contingencies. The problem with the contingencies are that they are ... contingencies. An "out" for the buyer. It's more a question of a smooth process than it is of money. You accept an offer with a contingency, and they bow out, you have to re-list. Or if you go back to one of the other offers, they now know you had a deal fall through and you have lost some leverage if they are even still looking. It can be a huge problem, and cost quite a bit of not only money with the carrying costs and whatnot, but hassle and worry as well. [/quote]
