Inspections

One of the most important things to complete prior to buying a home is your home inspection. This is typically done within the first 10 calendar days after your contract is ratified. Be sure you hire a home inspector who is certified!

Your Home Inspector will walk through the house with you checking all the the basic systems and appliances. This is a visual examination, meaning they point out what they can see with the naked eye.

Your inspector will make a note of anything that they feel might need repair, with special attention to anything they deem a "major issue". These items can become points of negotiation between Buyer and Seller.

Here are a few other inspections/tests that may be recommended for your purchase:
These inspections are common for this area, but are not a comprehensive list as inspections vary based on the age of the home being purchased, the requirements of the lender, and the needs of the Buyers and Sellers.
