Inspections...What Can Go Wrong
What can go wrong with the results of a home inspection?
I prepare my sellers with this statement. Being a former RN, I relate situations to medicine. So a real estate home inspection is like having a colonoscopy and a root canal simultaneously with no anesthesia.
 
After they finish chuckling, I explain that the owners may NOT be home for inspections, but I will be present to represent the house.
 
 
The issues encountered in the inspections over my real estate career include:
 
Electrical
Plumbing
Roofing
Septic
Sewer
Foundation
Trees
Grading
Gutters
Siding
Doors
Windows
Appliances
Water pressure
Insulation
Attic
Crawl spaces
Survey
Well yield
Water portability
Chimney
Windows
Doors
Fireplace
Radon
Termite/WBI
Mold
Moisture
Smoke /Fire systems detectors
HVAC
Buried oil tanks
etc...
 
And there is a remedy and solution for every situation that may arise.
Not trying to scare you, but it’s better to be informed and prepared.
