Kansas Real Estate Contract - Inspections

[Jeff Dunn-Rankin]

Hi,

We are signing our first Kansas contract for a home. I am confused by the Inspections section (section 12 in our contract). The inspections will be important because the disclosures have already named that there's insufficient water pressure and that the toilet backs up when it flushes.  

Here's my question: The contract has dates for a termite inspection (12b) and  a list of additional inspections (12f), but I'm also being asked to initial a notice at the beginning of section 12 that says, "Buyer agrees to accept the property in its “as is” condition without any inspections."  Should I initial that?  My realtor says yes, but it feels like the opposite of what I want.

Thanks for your help. 

Jeff

Doesn’t sound like you are using the KREC “Contract for purchase and sale of real estate (residential)”? Section 12 is the Lead Based Paint section. Not sure what contract you are using...

Without actually seeing the contract I’m not sure. But my inclination is to say no, if your contract says there is no inspection contingency and you are buying “as is where is” then that only leaves you a financing contingency. But considering your contract is different I’m not even sure you have that.
