Why Get a Home Inspection?

Inspect Your New Home Before You Buy..

If you are buying a home, you need to know exactly what you are getting. Whether you are buying or selling a home, you should have a professional home inspection performed.

Inspection for Home Buyers - Avoid Buyer's Remorse

• You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer.
• Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency.
• Then, hire your own inspector and pay close attention to the inspection report.
• If you arent comfortable with what he finds, you should kill the deal.

Inspection for Home Sellers

At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyers inspector will cause delays in closing, and usually you will have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or take a lower price on your home. It's better to pay for your own inspection before putting your home on the market. Find out about any hidden problems and correct them in advance. Otherwise, you can count on the buyers inspector finding them, at the worst possible time.

• You want to know about such potential hidden problems before your house goes on the market.
• Almost all contracts include the condition that the contract is contingent upon completion of a satisfactory inspection.
• Most buyers are going to insist that the inspection be a professional home inspection, usually by an inspector they hire.
• If the buyers inspector finds a problem, it can cause the buyer to get cold feet and the deal can often fall through.

Problems to Look For

A home inspection, performed by a professional home inspector, will reveal any hidden problems with the home so that they may be addressed BEFORE the deal is closed:

• Structural elements, foundation, framing, etc.
