The Power of Home Inspections

 Whether you are purchasing a resale property or new construction, we highly recommend that you have a professional home inspector conduct a thorough inspection.  The inspection will include the following:
 
Appliances
Plumbing
Electrical
Air conditioning and heating
Ventilation
Roof and Attic
Foundation
General Structure
 
The inspection is not designed to criticize every minor problem or defect in the home.  It is intended to report on major damage or serious problems that require repair.  The inspector may recommend that other professionals inspect specific concerns. Your home cannot “pass or fail” an inspection, and your inspector will not tell you whether he/she thinks the home is worth the money you are offering.  The inspector’s job is to make you aware of repairs that are recommended or necessary.  The seller may be willing to negotiate completion of repairs or a credit for completion of repairs, or you may decide that the home will take too much work and money.  A professional inspection will help you make an informed decision. 

 

We recommend you being present at the inspection.  This is to your advantage.  You will be able to clearly understand the inspection report, and know exactly which areas need attention.
