Many buyers (and sellers) have a misunderstanding of how the home inspection process works.  For example:

• Buyer: I can inspect the house, and if there's anything wrong, I can get out of the contract, right?
• Seller:  They can inspect the house, but I'm not fixing anything. (and they'll have to buy anyhow)

Here's how a home inspection really works, per the standard Home Inspection Addendum in Virginia.
