 "question": "Which inspections does a Miami seller need?",
 "url": "https://shenandoahmiami.com/answers/seller-inspections/",
 "answer": "No Florida statute or Miami-Dade rule reviewed requires a seller to get an inspection before selling a single-family house. Miami-Dade building recertification excludes single-family homes and duplexes. Buyers and insurers ask for inspections instead: Citizens requires a 4-point inspection on homes over 20 years old, and the law ties insurance discounts to wind-mitigation features.",
