Who To Hire?
In Texas, all home inspectors are required to be licenced by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Don’t worry if you don’t know of any. As a buyer client, you will be provided with several as part of the Donna Edwards Team Concierge Package.
What To Expect?
The home inspectors job is to find things wrong with the house you are buying. Believe me he will find plenty of the common home inspection items. Every house has issues. If you want a new house, you should buy one; otherwise expect some imperfections. It is important to remember during this process that the purpose of the inspection is for your own personal knowledge of the current condition of the home you are buying. It is not a pass or fail test nor a laundry list of items you should expect the owner to repair.
Should I Attend the Home Inspection?
I always recommend you attend the last 15 minutes of the home inspection so you can get immediate feedback by having the home inspector go over with you a general opinion of the condition of the home. It is also a great opportunity to ask questions and for him to point out items best explained in person. They have a list of areas they will inspect and will provide you with a written home inspection report a day or two after the home inspection is completed.
