Can I still make an offer?

I got me a motivated seller ready to sell his house. Can I still make an offer if I only saw the outside of the house? The seller is out of state and gave the house key to someone else who he now has issues with. He said he would only give the house key to someone who is going to buy the house. How often do people make offers on houses they never seen inside and out?

As long as you have an inspection contingency of course you can. While I HATE people that make an offer while 100% planning on changing their offer after it’s accepted. All you can ask for is the most recent interior pictures and the seller’s estimate of the current condition. Then if it’s not in that condition you say here’s my new offer or I have to walk. 

If you’re local you could also offer to arrange for a locksmith to come out and mail them the key after you inspect the inside.
