We often get asked by home buyers here in the Orlando, FL area if they need to pay for a survey and why would they need one. The short answer is, “Yes”. It’s our opinion you should pay to have a survey done before purchasing your home. There are several good reasons for getting one.
Often buyers and sellers are surprised by some of the issues that can pop up within the last few days before closing. Sudden difficulties when you feel like you’re right at the finish line can make what was otherwise a smooth transaction feel like a nightmare. On the Jean Scott Team, we pride ourselves in doing everything we can to prepare our clients for any possible scenario – one of the hurdles most often unexpected is funding.
