In reference to the last post -

Is a home inspection really necessary?

While it may not be necessary for SELLERS to get a home inspection, it may be worth it to see if there are any issues you may have to address before proceeding with a purchase agreement.

If you don't go up in your attic too often, you may not be aware of the lack of insulation. Or a small leak in the roof. Or animals calling your attic their home. While none of these things may cause a buyer to walk, it could or at the very least a delay or reduction in purchase price or additional concessions or a repair before closing.

Is a home inspection really necessary? It's up to you.
