If a storm rolls through while under contract for a home, it’s important to make sure there is no damage to the house before closing.
If damage does occur, it is typically the responsibility of the seller to bring the house back into the same condition it was at the time you wrote the offer.
If the seller neglects to make the necessary repairs, you would typically have an escape from the purchase agreement.
As agents who work with buyers, we are proactive in having qualified contractors inspect for damage if we suspect a storm had the potential to cause some damage.
