Also known as a Buyer’s Home Inspection
If you’re buying a home, a Good Home Inspection is essential. Your home is often the largest investment you’ll ever make, you should know the condition of the home before purchase.
Imagine you’ve just spent your savings on the home of your dreams only to find that the roof leaks, the furnace wont light and the electrician wants to sell you a new load center service panel.
Homebuyers easily misjudge or overlook signs that indicate a serious problem. A professional home inspector looks for these signs. They know the clues relating to the physical condition of the home.
If defects are found, it doesn’t mean that the home isn’t worth purchasing. But knowing these facts will enable you to make a more informed decision about your home.
What the Home Inspection Covers
All home inspectors licensed by the Texas Real Estate commission are required to inspect the items listed below.
However, no two inspectors will see the same things, the same way. The experience of the home inspector, his work ethic, and how much time he puts into it, all affect the quality of the home inspection.
There is a large diversity in the quality of home inspections. Looking for the best home inspector in Dallas? Give us a call. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
