In GA, our contracts are all as-is unless you include the financing contingency, appraisal contingency, right to request repairs, and anything else you are interested in.

We use a Due Diligence period, either along with those contingencies or w/o those contingencies. Whatever makes sense.

The best way to think of as-is in GA is that it may be as-is, but you still get the opportunity to do all the inspections to determine what as-is IS!

Then, you can ask for repairs, etc., but the seller is under no obligation to address them. If they don’t and they are deal breakers, you simply terminate the contract under the due diligence clause.

That’s GA anyway. Pretty simple.

Will banks make repairs even when they offer "as is"? http://tinyurl.com/mbqku2

Don’t “ASK”, you don’t “GET”. Can’t hurt. If the answer is “no”, you’re simply in the same place you were before, no harm, no foul.
Cheers.

Lesley,

Whenever we deal with a bank/lender we know and that’s local they will generally do it. But it’s good to know that it’s worth asking outside lenders too.

Thanks for the info and do that from now on……

So you want to buy a foreclosure home? Does "as is" really mean "as is"? http://bit.ly/4imr1R

Lesley, we have had banks make repairs too. Not all the time but some of the time. No harm in asking.

Wonderful to learn about the power of asking! After all, there’s nothing to lose in this type of situation.
