Do buyers go to the home inspection?

I want to go to the home inspection to see what it's all about. And it'll give me a chance to take measurements in the house and just get a feel for it. I'm getting push back from the agent and the seller tho. Why? Am I not supposed to go? It seems like I should be able to look into the house myself since I'm the one buying it.

What do I really need to worry about at home inspection?

We had our home inspection and a lot of things came up, like 38 things that were wrong. We read the list and think most of them are small, like a window latch that doesn't totally work. The big structure things came back ok, but the air conditioner has problems. 38 seems like a lot of problems though. We don't want to buy a money pit, but also don't want to lose the house. So should we go forward? What should we look out for?

Contract termination ?

We’re in GA trying to sale our house. As I get to know our agents, we notice they use multiple phone numbers to call and text us, and never inform us house showing schedule when we requested they simply said “ we have no time for this Day before the home inspection my husband drove to GA home he arrived late night and he saw multiple room lights was on and several doors were unlocked. The day of the home inspection buyer showed up at least 10 cars and full of the family and friends were in the house and after 4 plus hours of the inspection my husband noticed the wood floor was ripped out and backed gate looks like someone forcefully lifted up and it’s misshaping will not close. We quickly notified to agent they offered to fix it and they are requesting another home inspection again, but we told them not to without owners present and authorized. However buyer and inspector came to our house asked for door lock code we have changed. We refuse to give up the code tell them to leave but agent were pressure us to tell lockbox code. Unfortunately we have to call police request for property inspection and now our house is on watch by police officer and neighbors. After the incident agent send us transaction information for us to provide Persona who will be taking care of transportation name “ Areal kiss” We refuse to give up any information and I want to terminate the contract. Also this third party is using low cost GA agent and they told the agent don’t deal with us directly it’s the third party’s deal. Please tell me what is the best way to deal with them because they have no physical address or real phone number and we can’t find them social media either

Should I buy a house on a busy road?

I have been having trouble finding a home I like and I am ready to own. I finally found one that is in the right area and I really like the layout and look of but it is on a busy road. My parents keep telling me that I might not like that once I have kids and it might be hard to resell. Is that a deal breaker for a lot of buyers?

Do school districts really matter if I don’t have kids?

I don’t have children, but I’ve heard that school districts can significantly impact resale value. Should buyers still prioritize school zones even if they don’t plan to use them?
