Normally the home buyer pays and hires his own home inspector and can also interact with him. That's a service where the buyer sees value for the money he pays out unlike the appraisal fee which he pays for but doesn't see any value and is told he can't even discuss it with the appraiser that he paid for.Ofcourse nobody wants an appraisal?
Why? Potential deal killer.
Why would the mortgage broker, re agent, buyer or seller want a deal killer?
I mean, its not like they are using someone else's money and their paycheck depends on the deal going thru?
Buyers for the most part could care less about the value. Buying a home is personal, subjective, are for the most part not using their on money and mostly depends on getting approved.
Work for a new home builder...you will realize how much cost really matters LOL. The lender sets the a maximum price allowed price/budget..by golly it gets met almost every single time.
Buttt......its not their money! It's not the buyers, the re agent, nor the mortgage brokers. It's not even the GSEs money. It's the investors money....US.
Let's get rid of the home inspection? That's the top deal killer. No one wants that except for the borrower. The only reason they want it is because if something goes wrong, its their money, that they don't have more than likely to fix it.
Credit checks? Nobody wants those either..another top deal killer before any deals are even done.
Then on the purchases where 95% come in at the contract price anyway the buyer really just paid to have the old wing nut confirm what he and seller already knew anyways.
