In the past couple of years now I have arrived at Inspections only to wait 30 minutes or more and then call to make sure the Inspection was still scheduled. I am at the address provided by the client and doubled checked with the agent only to find the contract was written on the wrong home. Perhaps in the correct complex, but the wrong unit. Or perhaps on the same street but wrong address number. Or the correct number but wrong street.
After finding my clients at the house they want it has turned out somehow the incorrect address was written into the contract and that was the home they had looked at but was not interested in.
It now is asked of me that during the inspection of the home on the contract, I have to find some major items so they can get out of the contract. In all cases, so far, luckily there were major items that needed repair or replaced and they were able to back out. Someday that may not be the case though.
I feel terrible for the Agent in these cases. They have worked hard to find their clients a home they like and wish to purchase and then find out a typo has, in all these cases, cost them the home. The correct home is under contract for someone else and the Home Buyer is, too say it gently, INCENSED. And in one case threatened lawsuit.
This is just some food for thought as you type in that address. PLEASE double and triple check that the address is correct.
