So the buyer can still sue after closing. As almost all lawsuits are because of an undisclosed material fact, the As Is specifically says the seller is still liable in these situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what does it do for the seller then? It simply sends a message that they prefer not to do repairs. Buyers can still ask for repairs, but sellers are saying up front that they prefer not to do any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oahure.com\/AsIs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View the As Is Addendum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why the Hawaii As Is Addendum is nothing to worry about.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qbJC7SfPOKA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;As Is&#8221; Conditional Addendum sounds intimidating, but if you look at it closer, it does not mean much.&nbsp; It does not change any of your rights during the inspection.
