Once under contract what does a buyer now do before you go to closing. The buyer will order a Home Inspection so he knows all that is wrong with the house, if there is anything. If the Inspection report shows there are items needing repair the buyer may want to cancel his contract, may want you to repair the items, or renegotiate the price.
Also with the buyer having to get a mortgage the lender will send out an appraiser and the appraisal may state items that need repair for the appraised value to be that of the sales price. This could mean added expenses to you for the repairs, a delay in your closing or a cancel contract and you need to start the process over.
