GETTING THE INSPECTOR IN!!!



When you're ready to buy a home, I expect that like the large majority of homebuyers you'll want to have a home inspection - whether it's required or not - when you get to the point of finalizing your next home purchase. A home inspection is often, in fact, part of the sales contract. A good home inspector can help protect your investment by uncovering problems with the home that should be remedied prior to closing. Here are some things I think you should know about getting a home inspection:

 Be sure to hire a qualified and experienced professional. I can recommend 
  one or you can search for one on the website for the National Association 
  of Home Inspectors.

 Ask about cost. Prices can vary according to the size of the home and the 
 expertise level of the inspector among other factors.

 Find out if you can be present for the inspection. I highly recommend walking 
  with the inspector so you can see firsthand how things work and ask questions, 
  especially when and if problems are found.

 Ask the inspector to include estimates for repairing any defects. The inspector's 
  written report can be a negotiation tool when settling on a final sales price for
  the home. That's your Sales Associate's job and it would be my pleasure to 
  handle it for you.
