Insist on a Home Inspection

A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property’s defects. 

A home inspection usually covers the following:

• HVAC - insight into the current systems condition/age/issues
• Plumbing - if there is leakage, clogging, water heater condition
• Roofing - the extent of deterioration, if there is leakage, useful life left
• Electrical - if there are inadequate circuits or potential fire hazards
• Structural issues - if there are problems with the underlying foundation of your home

As a seller, the home inspection reports protect you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.

Keep in mind, traditionally the buyer pays for the home inspection.
