In our scenario the Inspector did not detect mold. We found mold at the final walk thru (after some rain). Pictures in the listing show a new post on the porch but old Google images show a moldy post. Also, seller did not satisfy his contractural agreement to remove metal sheds in the backyard. These sheds were present at the time of the walk-thru. We are heavily considering backing out after this seller was also doing everything possible to stall the sell.
On my final walk through of a house I was buying it was fine during the showing. Then the day of the walk through a storm came through and there was a major leak in the roof. It was so bad it ruined the ceiling in the kitchen on the first floor also. The buyers had to get contractors on the morning of closing to come fix it.... I saw the sellers leaving the office after signing before we walked in and the wife was bawling.... She was so stressed. I felt so bad for her.
The woman buying our house did the same thing. She even wanted us to insure brand new appliances. She was so difficult that her real estate agent brought me a giant bouquet of flowers as an apology. I told the agent I was ready to drop the seller altogether, I’d had enough. The buyers agent managed to convince her to back off or she wasn’t getting the house. Finally the sale was made, but I sure didn’t leave with feelings of goodwill towards that horrific buyer.
Thank you for sharing! I have final walk-through in a couple of days, then closing end of the week. This has definitely been a learning experience... lol
There should have been NO "argument" between attorneys here because the WRITTEN language in the contract should have identified the tree(s) to be removed very clearly AND included photos. If it did not, then the Seller had no obligation to remove ANYTHING that the Buyer "had in mind". Sounds like they were lucky to get $250 and if I was the seller, the ATTORNEY would have paid it....
I’ve got a buyer who had “no inspection” as part of the offer. Now they want to bring a contractor on the final walkthrough. I’m not worried that they’ll find something major but I also don’t want to be nitpicked. I just don’t understand why they offered no inspection if they want to inspect a few days before close??
Technically they cannot ask for anything. The purpose of the walkthrough is to make sure everything is in working order and to check all items discovered at the home inspection to make sure they were addressed.
"I’ve got a buyer who had “no inspection” as part of the offer?" You should have NEVER represented a client that did not also employ a real estate inspector during the process. That's on YOU. I know well over 100 Buyer Brokers and exactly ZERO of them will present an offer that does not include a real estate inspection.

Great information! Thanks!

Good luck!!
Couldn't the branches on the big tree have been cut off before the inspection ?

This is the reason why a Final Walk through should NEVER be schedule on the DAY of closing. Always the morning BEFORE the day of closing.
