Home Inspections are important

When buying a condo or house you should always have a home inspection conducted. A professional assessment by a reputable home inspector may uncover any problems (large or small), alerting you to any needed repairs and updates. With your agent's help, you may even be able to negotiate for repair or replacement of items before the purchase is complete. You'll be able to bring in a home inspector of your choosing once you go into contract. The inspector will perform a comprehensive evaluation of the home and property, doing everything from testing outlets and faucets; to identifying signs of dampness, termites or carbon monoxide; to making sure walls are strong and windows are secure. Don't overlook this important step in the buying process as it can help insure you have made a good investment.
