Why Are Home Inspections Important?

A home inspection is an important step in the home buying process. A proper home inspection helps alert you  of the condition of the home before purchase. 

The home inspection process is often performed at the time of the sale of the home after it has gone under contract.  

A home inspection is an inexpensive way to discover the condition of a home. Compared to the cost of the home and potential repairs, the home inspection does not cost much at all. (click here for a price quote). It is very important to have a proper, certified home inspection done by a qualified professional home inspector to help avoid issues down the road.  

A home inspector is a lot like a "paid pessimist". It is very easy to let our emotions take over and fall in love with a home, and when emotions are involved it is easy to not see the issues around us. A true home inspector is also expected to, not only find issues, but to know what he is looking at and to be able to clearly and concisely explain this to his clients.

A true certified professional home inspector, such as myself, will conduct a home inspection of the general condition of the home. I then will take the time to explain my findings to you, my client. And this takes a patient home inspector as well.
