Is a buyer entitled to a pre-closing inspection?

Most salespeople include a pre-closing visit or inspection in the real estate agreement. If it is not included, is the buyer entitled to a visit anyways?

But since you may have to go to court to enforce this right, it is best to provide for it in your agreement.
