Buying your home is one of the most significant decisions and biggest investments you will ever make.
A professional home inspection will enable you to learn a great deal about a home, help give you peace of mind and answer some important questions. Whether you are buying or selling, you will have the benefit of knowing the ins and outs of a particular home.
Homebuyer Benefits:
You will gain an education of the home, top to bottom, so that you will know exactly what you are buying.. This information will help you to buy with confidence knowing that a true professional has carefully evaluated and inspected your future home.
Home Seller Benefits:
For sellers, a pre-listing inspection can detect previously unknown problems or potential upgrades that you wish to address prior to selling your home. Being aware of issues in advance will allow for disclosure of problems, which can result in smoother transactions for all parties.
Good Hiring Practices:
-
Hire a Professional.
Confirm your home inspector is a member of American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) - http://www.ashi.org/ and National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI) http://nahi.org/. -
Obtain a printed report.
Make sure you are given a complete, written report of your inspection results, preferably with photos included. -
Attend the inspection.
There is no substitute for the being at the inspection. The report provided is only a part of the inspection. When you attend the inspection, you can ask questions, and become more familiar with your home, you'll gain greater comfort and confidence in your buying decision.
