A real estate agent’s opinion of the condition of a property you are purchasing is just that, an opinion. As a home buyer you should not rely on the agent’s opinion regarding the physical and/or mechanical condition of the home.
Most agents will suggest that buyers seek the opinion of a professional, licensed home inspector prior to closing on the home. In the State of Florida, the purchase contract allows for a home inspection to be conducted by the buyer within an agreed upon time frame acceptable to both buyer and seller.
Homebuyers need to take advantage of this contingency when purchasing a home. You should be cautious and never purchase a home without a professional home inspection.
