Inspections & Appraisals
Most buyers will have the property examined by a licensed property inspector.
The Buyer's Property Inspection
Buyers typically hire licensed inspectors to verify property conditions. Inspection windows are specified in the Purchase Agreement and may include specialty inspectors (roof, plumbing, HVAC, etc.). If the buyer is financing the purchase, the lender will order an appraisal to confirm the property value aligns with the loan amount.
The Closing Agent
A title company or attorney acting as closing agent reviews recorded property history and certifies clear title—free of liens or encumbrances—so ownership can transfer at closing.

Loan Approval and Appraisal
Prioritize buyers with lender pre-approval, approval letters, or written loan commitments—these are stronger assurances than pre-qualification. Expect a lender appraiser to confirm that the sales price reflects market value.
