What is going to happen at the Home Inspection? Who should be there and what do I need to do. Home Buyers ask many of these questions and more. Welcome to Day 6 of my 10 blog series of the "Top 10 tips" for Home Buyers looking to buy their dream home.
#5. Do I have to attend my home inspection?
Depending on what part of the country you live in, the answer may differ. Here in the New Hampshire market, virtually all buyers do attend their home inspection. Just as well the buyer agent is there to watch over their buyer and the listing agent is there to look out for the seller. The seller is one person who it is recommended that does not attend.
A GOOD listing agent knows "rule #1" is to stay close enough to hear and see, but not so close they ever get in the inspectors way. That advice is often also heeded by the buyer and their agent. For me, I can see first hand what is found. One of the main goals of any inspection is to find "hidden" defects that may require a repair. By being there for the seller, I can offer advice as how to respond to what is found. A buyer agent will be doing the same. The concern should not be on a dark painted room, but roof, furnace, plumbing, electric. pests, well or septic.
The most critical part of Buying or Selling a home is the Agent/Broker you choose.
You have a choice of agents. Use your choice to hire the BEST agent in your area.
YOU deserve the BEST service when Buying or Selling a home
LEARN THIS ONE FACT:
One should know that
All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company.
