Home Inspections for New Construction

Great blog. I always advise my buyers to have a home inspection before closing. Whether it is a new construction or not, a home inspection is a must.

Welcome to Activerain. You are going to be a huge asset to this community.

Great topic, Raymond Wingard .  Home inspections should be conducted on EVERY purchase... no exceptions.  

Welcome to ActiveRain.  It's a valuable platform to share your knowledge and to learn from others.   Blog on...

Welcome to active rain. Good luck.

HI Raymond Wingard, Welcome to Active Rain and congrats on your first blog post. Active Rain is a great place to meet, interact with and learn from awesome professionals!

I think an inspection is always important. New home buyers don't seem to always think so but there are plenty of stories about problems that are uncovered. And yes, it's likely the builder will fix but you have to know about them.

Walcome to ActiveRain, Raymond! You are off to a great start!

Welcome to Activerain! Congratulations on your first post, you are off to a great start!

Raymond Wingard - Great advice to always get a home inspection, even if it's a brand new construction home!

Sometimes I think they are needed even more on the new homes.

Welcome to Active Rain, looking forward to reading many more of your posts, let me know if there is anything that I can do to help as you get started here.
All the best of success to you.

Good morning, Raymond Wingard it's always a wise choice to have a professional home inspection prior to closing.... and most of those oversights should have been caught by the town inspectors.... the electrical, as an example, would have been caught by an electrical inspector who did his/her job thoroughly!!!!  

and welcome to ActiveRain...it's a great place to learn, share, market and network....and I hope you enjoy all of it....

Sometimes another set of eyes picks up items that should find their way onto the Builders Post Settlement Punch List .

Welcome to AR and thank you fo rthe important advice. People often seek the easy route, but that isn't always the smart route. An inspection can save a lot of headache down the road.

Raymond, you've got so much great advice in your first post!  Welcome to ActiveRain, and we could have you addicted in no time.
