Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about home inspections and what you should expect when you get a home inspection. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

WHAT IF THE REPORT REVEALS PROBLEMS?

No house is perfect. When the inspector identifies problems, it does not indicate you should not buy the house. His findings serve to educate you in advance of the purchase about the condition of the property. A seller may adjust the purchase price or contract terms if major problems are discovered during an inspection. If your budget is tight, or if you do not want to be involved in future repair work, this information will be extremely valuable. The bottom line is you should have all the information you can get so you can make an informed decision.
