For sellers, it can highlight issues to address before listing, potentially improving the home's marketability. Overall, a home inspection provides peace of mind by revealing any potential surprises. 

Yes, we encourage our clients to attend the inspection so they can see firsthand any issues or concerns the inspector may uncover. This can also be a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the property.

 A home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property's condition, typically conducted during the home-buying or selling process. A certified home inspector examines key aspects of the home, such as the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, and more, to identify any issues that could affect the property's safety or value. 

 A home inspection typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may take longer, while smaller or newer homes may be quicker to inspect. 

  Yes, even new homes should be inspected. New construction can still have issues, such as construction defects or incomplete work, that need to be addressed before you move in. 

   Home inspection costs vary based on location, property size, and age. On average, expect to pay between $300 and $500. This investment can save you from costly repairs and provide valuable peace of mind. 

 If you’re selling your home, ensure the inspector has access to all areas, including the attic, basement, and garage. Clear any obstructions around doors, electrical panels, and appliances. If you’re buying, prepare a list of any concerns or questions to discuss with the inspector during the walkthrough 

 A home inspection is not about passing or failing. It’s an objective assessment of the property's condition to provide you with the information needed to make an informed decision. 

  If the inspection uncovers issues, it doesn't necessarily mean the deal is off. Depending on the severity, you may negotiate with the seller for repairs, a price reduction, or a credit at closing. Alternatively, you can choose to walk away from the purchase if the problems are too significant.
