Does this mean that the Realtor is going to leave me in his office while he checks with his manager to see if the price we suggested is acceptable to him–meanwhile my Realtor and the manager are puffin a smoke in the back lot laughing while I sweat it out in his microphone filled office?

YA, its true some people use to sell or buy home like cars.
For the buyers the think of whether the property is worth in future after the own it. But some wont think just but like a car.

I have recommended that sellers get a pre-listing home inspection for two reasons:

a) It allows them to discover and correct problems that they might not have otherwise known about.

and

b) It shows the buyer that the homeowner was interested in finding and correcting any issues prior to selling the home.

In the eyes of a buyer, a home that has been well-cared for is worth more money than one that has been neglected – even if the neglected property is rehabbed.

Often, a buyer will review the inspection and repairs and opt to NOT pay for an inspection of their own.

Additionally, home warranties that feature coverage during the listing period have been around a long, long time. At least ten years.

There’s nothing new here… except the hokey presentation.
