Buyer's Agent not present during Walk Through

As the title states, our (we are the buyer) agent was not present during our walk-through yesterday but the seller's agent was. There were some plumbing and small stuff noted during the walk-through that was brought up to the seller's agent that she wrote on the disclosure and had us sign.

We weren't aware until a few minutes prior to the walk-through that our agent would not be present and had asked whether this was normal. He said that given the time constraints and situation (seller still has belongings in the house and we gave seller 15 days past closing to move out due to seller closing on another property), that only the seller agent could be present.

A few hours after the wall through, our agent emails us an Agent Visual Inspection Disclosure stating that no issues were found and that him or a representative from their office was present and visually inspected the place with us --- document was already signed by agent.

Now my question is, is it okay to sign this with it stating that he was there? Some minor issues were noted but on the disclosure he wants us to sign it states Nothing To Note on every area of the house.

Any advice on how to proceed?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
