Buying a Home or selling a Home?
The experience of buying a home can be both exciting and stressful. As the buyer, you have many decisions to make. One of these decisions involves whether or not to have your dream home inspected. When people ask me whether they should have the home inspected, my answer to them is one word: ABSOLUTELY!!!
A home inspector will evaluate the major components of the home and help you get to know the home first-hand before you decide to purchase it and enter what is often a lifelong commitment. A home inspector can help you determine if the home has any material defects or safety issues; of which you, as the buyer need to be aware. Do not be alarmed if your home has some defects or issues. No matter how well the home has been maintained, no home is perfect.
I see many defects and safety issues during my inspections. The most common and serious safety issues I discover, involve amateur electrical work. While there are many home maintenance tasks; the average homeowner can handle safely, electrical work is not one of them. This is just one of many instances where a trained and experienced home inspector is needed to help determine whether a defect exists, or if you and your family will possibly be at risk.
In addition to evaluating your electrical system, your home inspector will also inspect the structure of the house, the roof, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and other readily accessible areas of the house. A home inspector performs all these services for one reasonable fee. It is money well spent. Especially if the inspector discovers a serious safety issue like a defective furnace or a material defect that will be costly to replace like a worn-out roof.
The benefits of a home inspection are undeniable. Not only will a home inspection educate you, it will identify visible defects that adversely affect the value of the house or put you and your family at physical risk. Having a home inspection done before the purchase of a house is one of the best small investments you can make and the single largest financial purchase of your life.
