Waiving a home inspection can save time or cost you tens of thousands.
In Simcoe County’s fast-moving market, buyers and sellers are often pressured to make quick decisions.
One of the biggest? Whether to waive a home inspection.
This short, practical video from Pillar To Post, a RE/MAX Approved Supplier, walks through what that decision really means and when it actually makes sense.
No scare tactics. No sales pitch. Just clear guidance you can use whether you are buying, selling, or investing in Barrie, Innisfil, Oro-Medonte, Orillia, and surrounding areas.
What we like about this conversation is that it applies to both sides of the transaction, especially the often-overlooked power of pre-list inspections for sellers.
What they cover
- The real pros and cons of waiving a home inspection
- When it may be a strategic move and when it is not
- What happens if an inspection uncovers issues
- What buyers and sellers risk when no inspection is done
- How inspections affect negotiations and pricing
- And more…
Real-world insight from the field
A colleague shared this perspective:
Pre-inspections make strong negotiating sense for sellers. You know the condition upfront and can plan repairs or concessions instead of reacting under pressure.
Another added:
I love them. In addition to the big ticket items, it also helps with the “handyman nonsense” that buyers try to inflate the prices on.
And a practical value-add we fully agree with:
Great info — especially about the listing pre-inspections and having quotes on items that may need to be repaired on hand.
Why this matters in Simcoe County
In competitive markets, waiving conditions can feel like the only way to win. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it backfires badly.
A pre-inspection or an inspection strategy can reduce surprises, strengthen pricing conversations, and protect both buyers and sellers from avoidable risk.
