Home Inspections
/Home inspections are a very important part of the home buying process. The buyer has the opportunity to bring in a third party professional for a comprehensive evaluation of the home.
If you are buying a pre-owned home, it is important to go in with the mindset that it won’t be perfect and there are bound to be issues that need attention or repair that will be pointed out by the inspector.
Prioritization is key. Immediate health and safety concerns should definitely be addressed. Problems with the major components of the home - structure, electric, sewer and roof - should also be considered as they can potentially be very costly to repair!
Your Realtor should guide you through the inspection objection, negotiation and resolution process, taking into consideration the current climate of the local market and the terms of your specific contract.
