Elements · Appraisal & inspection
Understand uncertainty and your protections.
An offer can address uncertainty without ignoring your own exposure. Your agent and attorney help you understand the choices and their consequences.
- Appraisal preparednessKnow what you could finance or contribute if the valuation is lower. Your team then discusses how the offer should address that possibility.
- Inspection clarityDiscuss property condition, potential repair costs and the protections you want. Your agent guides the negotiation; your attorney advises on the obligations.
A few things matter.
- Which financial limits have been reviewed, and which remain unknown?
- What property risks or repair costs would make you uncomfortable?
- What would the agreement require if an appraisal or inspection raises concerns?
A competitive offer should be an informed decision.
There is no automatic recommendation to waive protections. Tony assesses financial capacity; the buyer, agent and attorney decide the offer terms.
