Importance of Inspections
As a buyer, you are entitled to know exactly what you are getting. Don't take for granted
what you see and what the seller or the listing agent tells you. A professional home
inspection is something you MUST do, whether you are buying an existing home or a new
one. An inspection is an opportunity to have an expert look closely at the property you are
considering purchasing and getting both an oral and written opinion as to its condition.
Beforehand, make sure the report will be done by a professional organization, such as a
local trade organization or a national trade organization such as ASHI (American Society
of Home Inspection). Not only should you never skip an inspection, but also you should
go along with the inspector during inspection. This gives you a chance to ask questions
about the property and get answers that are not biased. In addition, the oral comments
are typically more revealing and detailed than what you will find on the written report. Once
the inspection is complete, review the inspection report carefully.
You have to demand an inspection when you present your offer. It must be written in as a
contingency; if you do not approve the inspection report, then you don't buy. Most real
estate contracts automatically provide an inspection contingency.
