After purchasing numerous homes, even if I weren't a real estate agent, I definitely would have an opinion about Home Inspections and the need for them. I purchased a new home a few years ago, and I toyed with the idea of not getting an inspection. That was when I was naive. Well, the inspection uncovered so many problems that I was taken back.

Before you purchase a home, you should insist on having a home inspection. If any of the following problems arise, you should have them resolved before buying. Any issues with the heating or air conditioning unit, plumbing, roof, foundation, basement, electrical wiring, integrity of walls, attics, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors should all cause sirens to sound.

Inspections 101
Inspections are a common occurrence in the process of real estate deals. Common home inspections done include checks for termites, title reviews, structural inspections, appraisals to resolve property lines, and appraisals to establish value for lenders.
