As a buyer, you should know exactly what you are getting. Don't
take for granted what you see and what the seller or the listing agent tells you. A professional home inspection is something
you MUST do, whether you are buying an existing home or a new one. A home inspection is your opportunity to have
an expert look closely at the property you are considering purchasing and give you their opinion of its condition.
Make sure the report will be done by a professional organization. Not only should you never skip an inspection,
but also you should go along with the inspector during inspection. This gives you a chance to ask questions about the property
and get answers that are not biased. In addition, the oral comments are typically more revealing and detailed than what you
will find on the written report. Once the inspection is complete, review the inspection report carefully.
You should
demand an inspection when you present your offer. It must be written in as a contingency; if you do not approve the inspection
report, then you don't have to buy or you can ask the seller's to make repairs prior to closing.
