<prompt> Human: As a buyer, I understand the ideal situation is to pay for your own inspection, but in my situation that Id prefer not to get into the details of, Im not sure Ill be able to arrange that prior to the offer deadline. I also live in the SF Bay Area, where no inspection contingencies are highly recommended to be competitive, which my agent is recommending but not pressuring me to do.Id like to know if I have a case to trust a sellers home inspection: The sellers inspection company has very good yelp reviews, is ASHI and ICC certified My agent does not typically use this particular company but does say they do very good work and he would trust them. My agent also seems to be very well regarded in general, based on yelp and based on discussions with other agents. Based on the current houses report and other reports I have seen of other properties by the same inspection company, this inspector does appear to be very very thorough, for both clean and dirty houses. Even if renovations reveal additional problems, I have budgeted 20k for additional repairs that may come up in my renovation. This is in addition to 10 overage for desired renovations. For what its worth, the seller and listing agent were present at the inspections.Please let me know your thoughts. Would it feel comfortable to you in this situation to trust the sellers home inspection termite report? Do I need to do everything possible to get my own inspection? Im not sure what extra big-ticket items an additional inspection could bring up that the first one missed. How should I approach this?  <response>: I would NOT waive your inspection contingency under any circumstance. Of course your realtor will recommend you not go with one heshe wants a sale. What I did was got my financing approved as in I sent in all my documents to the bank Taxes, Income, Etc and had a 1 day financing contingency. I included an appraisal contingency because you must, and I tightend my inspection contingency to just 5 days. To sweeten the deal you can put down more earnest money. But I would say do your due diligence. Fuck them for trying to pressure you into throwing away your caution.
