The 3 Rules I Always Recommend For Home Inspections

 

Do I need a home inspection?

Ever wonder what home inspectors ACTUALLY do?

How can I tell if the home inspector is good or not?

 

What is the purpose of a home inspection?  Well, there are things about the home that the regular buyer is unaware about.  When you buy a used car, do you take it to the mechanic to make sure it’s not a lemon?  If you’d spend $100 on the purchase of a $10,000 used car, why wouldn’t you spend $300 – $500 on the largest purchase a family will likely ever make?

 

There are 3 “Always” that I recommend for my clients.  

1.  Always Do a Home Inspection

There are exceptions when a home inspection isn’t typically needed.  Some exceptions include:

– If you are a builder and you’re just buying the land that the house is on in order to tear down, then you may not care if the house is falling apart or not.  

– If it’s a brand new home built by a reputable developer, then you also probably do not need a home inspection

– If you’re in a crazy hot real estate market and the only way to buy the home you want is to write subject free offers, then you also may not need a home inspection

There are others and it depends on the situation so talk with your Realtor.
