If you are buying or selling your home you should have a home inspection completed, why? It protects your interest, if you are a buyer a home inspection will discover if the home has major issues, minor issues and determine future repairs that may be needed. If you are selling your home you should have a home inspection completed because most of us don't see that our home needs repair and in this market you want your home to sell and not scare off a buyer because of repairs. Here are some pointers or practices I do when I show homes to buyers and on a listing presentation with a seller. I'll point out visually apparent issues such as, wiring, roof condition, plumbing, grading or drainage and overall up keep, but in doing so I point out that I'm not a home inspector. I do this home condition review with my clients to let them know how to look at a home with a more critical eye. Please read this article on home inspections.
