Do I need to spend the money on a Home Inspection?

I know it seems like are you are doing is shelling out money when you purchase a home. But this is an process you do not want to skip.  I do prefer that clients use their own inspector so they are totally comfortable with the results. I believe in this even when the sellers present a report of a completed inspection. The best thing to do is ask friends and acquaintance for recommendations.  Be sure you get references from the Inspector and check them out. You want a licensed and certified master inspector.

This cost you a few hundred dollars, but is well worth the money.  You could negotiate with seller to see if they will pay for the inspection. After all it is their property they are trying to sell to you as your dream home, let assure it is your dream home and not a money pit

Below is a summary of a home inspection.

• Structural Inspection
• Roofing and Exterior Inspection
• HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical Inspection
• Interior Inspection
• Insulation and Ventilation Inspection
  Note:   Make sure the property is inspected for dangerous molds.
