chicago home inspector: Sellers at Home Inspections! Good or Bad?
- 05/15/07 06:08 AM
When sellers insist on staying home for the inspection many things can happen some good some bad it depends on the seller. Some sellers think that nobody can find things in the home but them, like light switches or garage door openers. Some sellers are very nice and go about their normal routine as if you were not there.

chicago home inspector: Does New Construction need a Home Inspection?
- 05/08/07 01:13 PM
In my opinion I'd say indeed. I'd like to know your thoughts. I have inspected many new homes and some have had major issues, like cracked heat exchangers in the furnace, 1/2 of the insulation missing from the attic, foundation leaks, etc. I know the builder warranties the homes for a period of time, but how would one expect the builder to fix something if they have no idea it is wrong? … (6 comments)
