Anyone purchasing a new or previously owned home, regardless of how
nice it looks or how good of a reputation the builder has. A home inspection will give you peace of mind about the condition
of the property and all of its systems and components.
Anyone who is considering selling their home. A 'pre-listing inspection'
can alert you of problems in your house that you were not aware of allowing you time to make repairs prior to listing or disclose
items that you are not willing to fix. As a seller, having your home inspected by the buyers' inspector can be very stressful
because you know that the inspectors' findings can be used as grounds for backing out of the deal. It is better to know ahead
of time rather that risk falling out of escrow because the buyers inspector found something that you weren't aware of.
Anyone that has been in their new home for eleven months. A 'home
warranty inspection' will let you know how your house is performing. Most builders provide their buyers with a one year warranty.
Even if you had your house inspected when you bought it, a defect could have developed during the first eleven months that
you are not aware of and finding before your warranty is up will save you money.
Anyone who doesn't go into their attic and crawlspace at least once
a year. A leak in a pipe or in the roof can begin at any time and often without any warning. If left undetected, a small leak
that would have cost $75.00 to have repaired when it began can easily turn into a repair costing thousands. Your house, like
your car needs routine maintenance. A home inspection is your first step towards knowing what you need to do to keep it running
smoothly.
