WHAT IS A WALK & TALK INSPECTION

In today’s competitive market, an increasing number of buyers are opting to waive inspection contingencies to make their offers more attractive… but that doesn’t mean you need to go into one of the largest purchases of your life without an understanding of the property’s condition.

While I always advise my clients to opt for a home inspection, a “walk-and-talk inspection” can be a solid middle ground if we’re in a multiple-offer situation. This condensed inspection offers insights from a professional inspector, empowering you to submit a competitive offer while remaining informed about any potential concerns or red flags.

Here are the benefits:

• It focuses on the “big” issues that represent the bulk of buyers’ concerns — structural problems and major system issues, including faulty wiring and failing roofs, etc.

• It enables the buyer to assess the property’s condition thoroughly enough to confidently decide whether to make an offer without the need for a home inspection (which would normally not be scheduled until after the property is under contract).

• It can provide a competitive advantage and allows buyers to make informed decisions with less risk.
