AS-IS Condition

Often sellers are negotiated down in price and below their “drop dead” price. Then they want to add a clause stating the sale is “As-Is”.
I disagree with this approach because:
1) You can’t prevent a buyer from exercising his option to have a home inspection
2) Seller is not obligated to fix anything on the inspection report..there is no obligation to do so.
3) “As-Is” clauses are generally reserved for real pieces of crap and/or a “fire sale”
4) Inserting such a clause is just adding suspicion to the buyers mindset. Not a good way to go.
So….if you are thinking of adding an “As-Is” clause to your contract – think twice.
