I've had buyers submit *offers* on homes, which they sign and present
to my agent. And the offer, counter-offer begins. But never by use of

has an inspection contigency clause. The sellers used that,
eg the furnace is past it's life expectancy, to then further
negotiate after the contract was signed.
