An Introduction to Home Inspections

Consumer Protection at its Best

Performing a home inspection is absolutely essential prior to buying a home.  In fact, a thorough home inspection is one of the most beneficial consumer protection devices available today.

No home is so new or so well built that it couldn't benefit from having a home inspection completed.  Almost every home contains some defective conditions, no matter how well built.  Some of these defects are obvious, but some are only apparent to those who know how and where to look for them.  Defects will be found.  The question is what, where, how serious, dangerous or expensive these may be.

Home inspections are designed to help prevent the homebuyer from loss.  It tells the buyer exactly what they will be getting and outlines any potential future problems.  This enables each homebuyer to make a thorough, informed decision.  After all, statistically speaking, your home is probably your most valuable asset.
