...The best reason for a lowball offer is that the home is in fact over-priced compared to other similar homes in the area.  Another fairly good reason is that there was an adjustment in the market and the home has now been sitting with no offers for weeks as it became over-priced when the market changed.

-          Shorten inspection periods and mortgage times

You just purchased a home!  Congratulations!  But, do you really feel that you know everything you need to know about this home?  A great way to alleviate concerns and questions is by having a Home Inspection completed by a professional (insured) Home Inspector.  This podcast talks about what the Home Inspector checks and why it's important to make this a condition within your offer.  Keep in mind that a Home Inspector can only inspect what they can see - they will not cut holes in walls or floors to investigate, no will they give quotes on how much items will cost to fix.  They will however be able to tell you what items are major or minor concerns so that you may gain as much knowledge about the home and take the necessary steps to remedy the situation(s).
