You've been pre-approved, and you're Real Estate Agent has helped you make an offer on a new home. It's time for your Home Inspection!
Step 4. Home Inspection - Once you have a home under contract, we always recommend that you hire a licensed and bonded home inspector to inspect the property on your behalf. The cost of the inspection is not typically considered a closing-cost, so it will be your responsibility as the buyer to provide a check for payment as soon as the service is complete.
You will want to attend the home inspection if possible, so that you can walk around the property and get a feeling for issues of the home's condition that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. If the property is in disrepair, this will give you an opportunity to re-negotiate the terms of the contract with the seller. Conversely, if the home is in excellent condition, the inspection will give you the piece of mind that you have made a good decision to purchase.
The home inspector can also identify areas of future concern, and may even offer advice on how to properly maintain the property once the purchase has closed.
