HOME INSPECTION

Who should have a home inspection? Buyers should be knowledgeable about their investment. A professional inspector can often see things that the untrained eye may miss regarding certain structural aspects of a home.

Sellers  can use a home inspection as a marketing tool.  Buyers often will bargain a home inspection into the contract.  Getting an inspection before hand can help you to have some control over the items that may turn up.

Home Owners  can save money through preventative maintenance.  An inspection can help you to make a prioritized checklist with estimated costs, so you can keep your investment worth its value.

New home construction:  According to a nationwide survey conducted by ASHI®, numerous problems seem to occur during new home construction.  A professional inspection can pick up on these problems prior to settlement.
