'Right to Home Inspection' Bill would mandate option prior to closing 

Why stop with this insanity and not go full insane. How about forcing people who buy used cars that they must get the car inspected before completing the purchase? Leave people alone. Let the free market work. The seller should be able to pick which offer they want to accept.

People buy homes based on location, price, features and quality. The first three they can find out in a couple minutes looking at the listing. The quality is not realized until the last hour when the buyers are now emotionally attached to the house. This is done on purpose as a way to shove the issues under the couch to raise the price and we all know it. Every home listed should have a home inspection to go with it performed by a professional inspector picked from a random pool and paid for by the listing agent and attached to the listing so every potential buyer can just see how good or bad the house actually is. We are the ones describing the house and condition, not realtors using that useless description the write.

We need more government mandates to become the next Soviet Union.

Real-tor not real-a-tor

Corporate house flippers and landlords will love to see the mandate go away. They can cut their costs and pass the problems on the the buyer or renter.

The comment section has no idea how bad lead and mold are in New York and it shows.
