What's a home
inspection?
A home inspection is when
a paid professional inspector inspects the home, searching
for defects or other problems that might plague the owner
later on. They usually represent the buyer and are paid
by the buyer. The inspection usually takes place after
a purchase contract between buyer and seller has been
signed.
Do I need a home inspection?
Both financially and emotionally,
your new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll
ever make. Major repairs on homes can amount to thousands
of dollars. Plumbing, electrical and roof problems represent
significant and complex systems that are expensive to
fix. At first glance, it may appear to be in great shape.
But it may contain a defect that you should be aware of.
Certain problems you could live with, but others could
be financially devastating. In making a decision of this
magnitude, make it with confidence and have your new home
inspected before you close.
