The inspection contingency would be removed from the offer to purchase. Once the offer is accepted, the buyer can state if they want an inspection or not, agree on a timeframe, etc. Penalties are in place if the seller or real estate agent violates this law.

We are asking every inspector in the state to donate at least $150 to the effort. We know business is slow and money is tight, and some inspectors have had to find other work, but this is a fraction of One Home Inspection. It’s a small investment that could have tremendous returns for our profession and the consumer!
