Home inspections help assure buyers

Home inspections can help buyers decide whether they’ll walk away from a deal or head to closing.In some markets across the country, inspections also serve as key negotiation tools. In Philadelphia, for example, inspection results more frequently are providing leverage for buyers as they attempt to whittle down price or get the seller to complete repairs, according to a recent report in The Philadelphia Inquirer.Not so in Southwest Florida, real estate agents say.
