Before You Sign: Watch for Contract Language That Could Limit Your Options
* “As Is” or “Inspections for Informational Purposes Only” — You may be accepting the property without the right to request repairs, credits, or other concessions based on inspection findings.
* “Appraisal Waived” — If the property appraises for less than the purchase price, you may need to bring additional cash to closing or deal with financing challenges.
* Sale or Purchase Contingencies — These provisions can add additional parties, deadlines, and requirements to the transaction, all of which must be carefully monitored and managed.
Bottom line: Know what you're agreeing to before you sign.
