No one wants to buy the house of their dreams only to find out that it's a money pit. Lisa Pemberton-Butler with The Seattle Times, in her article The ins, outs of a home inspection, does a nice job of walking through some of the reasons why having a home inspection helps you avoid such an occurrence. With the help of Steven Stanczyk and Hugh Kelso, LIsa answers some common consumer questions, such as:
- I'm planning to buy a new home that comes with a one-year warranty. Why would I want a home inspection?
- Are there any training or licensing requirements for home inspectors?
- Can consumers hire a home inspector even if they aren't buying a home?
Lisa also lists some do's and don'ts when it comes to hiring a home inspector. This is all good information for anyone looking to sell, purchase, or even those who already own their homes.
Thanks for stopping by!
