Recently I was asked to write a column regarding the "Top Tips For Buyers". I have compiled seven tips and will be posting them individually.

Tip #6
Have a home inspection upon an accepted purchase agreement. Don't come away from the inspection and expect that everything in the home that is reviewed must be fixed at the seller's expense. An inspection, in my opinion, is to discover hazardous items or items that would require a very large expense to change or repair that you were not initially aware of. Remember, an existing home is not a new home. This means it will have various amounts of obselecense and required repairs. An inspection report is not meant to be a renegotiation tool or checklist. I think the best home inspection is the one that makes you feel comfortable after "getting to know" your new home so you can make a purchase with "your eyes wide open". Give your inspector permission to tell you are buying a great home. Otherwise, he or she may feel they have to manufactuipre some item of concern in order to justify the expense of the report
