Are you selling the property “As Is”? Is the bank willing to do any repairs? –Most banks selling homes in Utah County won’t do any repairs. On occasion some banks will do repairs. It is important to ask. The banks want to sell the home as-is.

Have any inspections taken place for the property? If so, can you provide a copy of these inspections?

As of the 4th quarter of 2011 the banks are now required to fill out a full seller’s property disclosure. Some banks and investors were aware of problems but had the buyer sign an “as-is” statement.
