Hiring a Home Inspector

Home Inspector Options

If you are buying a home, an inspection could reveal problems you never would've noticed. An inspection can require the seller to fix what needs fixing before you buy the home. You could also find issues that make you decide not to buy. If you're a seller, an inspection can help you find problems before you put the house on the market, letting you make the repairs without wrangling over the cost with a potential buyer. Learn why you should get an inspection before selling your home

All homes, even newly built ones will have defects that will be pointed-out during a home Inspection. Deficient items identified, no matter how minor, will be photographed and detailed in a computer generated report for the buyer’s reference and review. We encourage the buyer’s to attend the inspection, walk around with the inspector, ask questions, and the inspector will demonstrate the systems and verbally explain the findings of the inspection to those in attendance at the inspection.

You only need to do a quick search for home inspectors in your area to find numerous options, but as with so many professions, some inspectors are better than others.Many first-time home buyers don’t realize that it’s their responsibility to hire a home inspector. Make sure you make your offer conditional upon inspection or get one done before you make a bid.
