What is a Home Inspection?
Let’s start with a Webster type definition and we’ll break it down from there. A home inspection is a non-destructive visual examination of the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and roof components of a home. A home inspection is not technically exhaustive.
Now, let’s break that down into more basic terms.
Selling your home? – Get it Ready for the Home Inspection
Many times I go to do a home to complete an inspection for a potential buyer, only to find the home not ready for an inspection. The home not being prepared then makes the buyer suspicious that there are areas that the inspector could not access causing them to back out of the deal. Completing a few routine maintenance items and having the home prepared for the inspection will avoid those long lists of misc. defects on a home inspection report that can scare a potential buyer.
Need to find a Home Inspector or an Appraiser? Bypass your agent and find one on your own.
You looked around, talked to friends or acquaintances for recommendations, and found your real estate agent. You should do the same to locate your Appraiser and Home Inspector. It’s really not that hard or time consuming. You can usually find the right one in a matter of an hour or so of research and phone calls.
Before you make an offer on a home, do your own pre-inspection
One of the first questions I ask my clients when they hire me is if they had noticed anything about the home they have specific concerns about. I take extra time to look at the issue to either determine the severity or ease their minds about it
