Buying a home is obviously one of the biggest and most important investments you’ll make in your
life, so you want to be sure what you’re buying has value and you’re not buying a money pit.
I treat every home inspection as if I was the one buying it and try to give you the very best detailed inspection possible.
If you’ve never bought a home before—or if you already are experienced—this article has some great info to keep in mind and prepare you for an inspection.
When it comes time for a home inspection I hope you’ll give me a call and speak with me about scheduling an appointment.
God bless and best wishes on your new home!
HOme INSPeCtION CHeCkLISt for Buyers
When it comes to buying a home, what you see isn’t exactly what you get. You’ll see colorful owers, freshly painted walls, granite countertops, gleaming hardwood oors and other super cial touch- es. What you can’t see is the foundation cracks, ancient plumbing, dangerous wiring, broken appliances or other defects that might be revealed when you hire a home inspector.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an opportunity for you to hire an expert to walk through the home and prepare a report that outlines the home’s major components, their current condition, what needs immediate attention and what will require maintenance after you move in.
As a buyer, your home inspection report offers a deeper under- standing of whether the home has been well-maintained or needs major repairs. If you’re not satis ed with the home’s current condi- tion, you can request the seller address the repairs or give you a credit toward the cost of repairs at closing. A report can also help you prioritize repairs and improvements after you buy the home, and plan for upgrades.
