Why get a home inspection
According to a recent National Board of Realtors survey:
- 84% of buyers request a home inspection as a part of their contract.
- 92% of real estate agents claim to always recommend a home inspection.
- 88% of all real estate agents surveyed refer specific inspectors.
Overwhelmingly, private fee-paid home inspections are widely accepted as a standard "step" in the process of buying or selling a home.
An ounce of prevention...
Buying a house is, in most cases, the single most expensive investment you will make in your lifetime. Before you make this very important purchase, it's important to acquaint yourself with as much information about the house as possible to ensure you're making the right decision. The cost of a home inspection is a very inexpensive step toward ensuring peace of mind that you're making a wise purchase.
Like home-buyers, home-sellers also use home inspections to gain knowledge of the condition of their homes before placing them on the market. Smart home-sellers know that gaining information about their home’s condition makes the selling process much easier.
