Are you a buyer or seller interested in getting a home inspection? A home inspection is one of the most important items on the home buying checklist. As a potential buyer, an inspection is a win-win. It is a great idea so you can be in tune with any potential issues that need to be addressed. From the foundation, to the roof or plumbing problems, to the heating and cooling systems, pest control, drainage issues, everything is looked over. Furthermore, having any issues documented puts pressure on the seller to fix major problems before the buyer ends up footing the bill. Below are some steps we recommend to maximize your inspection.

  1. Get a recommendation.
  • Your real estate professionals should be able to recommend a reliable and highly rated inspection company. Cheapest option may not always be the best option.
  1. Be present for the Inspection.
  • The Inspector wants you to point some things out to you and explain any notes he or she is making on the report. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. It is important you understand the functions of the systems in your home.
  1. Ask Questions.
  • Ask many questions as you want and make sure you feel comfortable with the answers. Who doesn’t dream to own a house? A house is the biggest investment most people will ever make in their lives, so it is important to understand what problems need to be addressed.
  1. Bring in Additional Specialty Professionals if needed.
  • There is nothing wrong with having someone else come in to look at a specific portion of the home, especially if they are an expert in their field. Some inspector does not look at the plumbing system or does not offer something specific like mold testing.
