Common Transaction Questions
Foundation Inspection Before Closing FAQs
Every transaction and property is different. These answers provide a useful starting point, but an on-site evaluation provides the best direction.
Can a home still be sold if it needs foundation repair?
Yes. A foundation concern does not automatically end a transaction. What matters is understanding the condition, obtaining a clear repair recommendation, and deciding how the parties want to address it. The right path depends on the property and the agreement between buyer and seller.
Should a seller schedule a foundation inspection before closing?
When visible signs or a known concern exist, scheduling a foundation inspection before closing can help reduce surprises later. It gives the seller, buyer, and agent more information to work with before an inspection contingency or closing deadline creates pressure.
Can a Cable Lock warranty transfer to a buyer?
Qualifying Cable Lock work may include transferable lifetime warranty protection. Transfer requirements, eligibility, and coverage are governed by the written warranty, so contact Cable Lock early in the sale process to discuss the property.
How quickly can Cable Lock evaluate a property?
Scheduling depends on current availability, location, and the scope of the concern. Call with the closing timeline, property location, and inspection details so the team can help identify the best next step.
