Inspections

It is important to have a home inspection.  The home inspection is about educating you on the details of the home you are purchasing.  It’s not about pass or fail, good or bad.  It’s about learning first hand and fully the workings of the home’s systems.  A home inspector will point out areas that will require ongoing maintenance and other important need to knows’ that are critical for the care and upkeep of your new home.  

Many home inspectors will create detailed reports on what you should be doing on a regular basis to keep your home in tip top shape during your ownership.  He will also detail any concerns he may have about the homes systems.

If you are present for the home inspection, your inspector can show you the shutoffs for water, gas and electric.  They can point out what needs repair.  Repair costs are one of the most important things a smart buyer wants to know.  It is good not to have too many costly repairs or replacements after moving in that you didn’t expect.  However, sometimes a home is sold in need of repair.  It is still a good idea to get that home inspection, so you know fully what you will be repairing.

It’s critical that you attend your home inspection.
