Home Inspections.

When you make an offer to purchase a home, including an inspection contingency is common. Essentially, this means you have the right to inspect the home before closing. 

The home inspection is when a professionally trained inspector visually and physically evaluates the home, from the foundation all the way up to the roof, looking for potential defects or red flags. Once the home inspection is done, you will receive an inspection report. An inspection report provides details about the home's condition and any issues that could affect its safety or value.

No matter what stems from your home inspection, whether you gain insight into information that confirms your desire to purchase your home, gain knowledge that helps you negotiate with the seller to purchase your home, or ultimately dissuades you, a home inspection is essential.

The knowledge and information you gain can help prepare you financially and mentally for what is to come, helping you to avoid some potential surprises and providing you with peace of mind knowing what might be in store for you.
