When to contact an Inspector
Before you sign your purchase agreement or make an offer on a home, your real esatate professional will add an inspection clause in the sales contract. Then a home inspector is contacted immediately after the contract or purchase agreement has been signed. You can hire your own or your real estate professional can usually give some recommendation.
What if an Inspection reveals problems?
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn’t mean you should or shouldn’t buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. If your budget is tight, or if you don’t want to become involved in future repair work, this information will be important to you. If major problems are found, a seller may agree to make repairs
Why do I need a Home Inspection?
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape.
If you are planning to sell your home, a home inspection can be used as a tool to prep the home for sale, givbig you the opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
