In my area, you won't get an offer accepted if you don't waive the home inspection. In fact, it's basically required to waive all inspections, such as radon and others. So the state says you have a so-called right to these, which divests the state from liability, but on a practical level, you need to waive these. Buyers end up having to buy ~$1M homes based upon just looking at them once or twice over just a couple of hours with basically no history given at all. It's such a messed up process. I get to do more due diligence buying something off of Reverb or eBay than I did with our home. And as you say, all of the people you're forced to interact with force you to sign papers that says that they have no responsibility for anything whatsoever.
