Selling a house "as is" means the seller is not willing to make any repairs or improvements before the sale. The buyer assumes the responsibility for any needed repairs or updates after purchasing the house. This can help the seller avoid investing time and money into fixing up the property.
Home inspections are required to ensure safety and value both for the buyer and seller of a home. Inspections protect the seller from lawsuits and guarantees that both parties are aware of any issues that may exist prior to sale. Conversely inspections insure that buyers are protected from any preexisting conditions that may effect value and safety of a property.
Extorting money from anyone sounds slightly criminal. When a buyer knows, from a reputable inspector, for example, that repairs are required to a property, the buyer can request that the seller consider that expense in the sale price. Neither the buyer nor the seller is obligated to move forward with the purchase if no agreement can be reached over repairs.

Contractors can certainly perform inspections when buying a home. In fact, it is recommended to hire a professional home inspector to assess the condition of the property before making the purchase. Contractors can provide expertise in specific areas such as electrical, plumbing, or structural issues, which can be invaluable in ensuring that the home is in good condition.
Yes, absolutely!The buyer is going to want to see the house before purchasing it and you should be well enough acquainted with the house to point out any repairs that it may need. It’s important to note that complete seller disclosure is still required. If you sell “as is,” but fail to disclose all known defects, you may set yourself up for legal problems. In which case, buyers can perform inspections on the house. It’s in the seller’s best interest for the buyer be aware of what they are buying. In short, the buyer needs to know what “as-is,” is.
