4 ways to turbocharge your home inspection

posted on November 16, 2017

Avoiding a money pit is just one reason to hire a home inspector. Savvy home buyers know you can get more value from a home inspection than just a building inspection.

Choose the right home inspector

Don't just take the recommendation for an inspector from your realtor. Also, ask lenders, appraisers and lawyers. Always double check credentials with the Better Business Bureau.

Prepare for the inspection

Buyers should write down any observations they have about the house and give that to the inspector to review.

Accompany the home inspector

Buyers should accompany the inspector and make notes and ask the inspector any questions they may need to know to maintain the home.

Be careful about vacant homes

Vacant homes are susceptible to neglect and are harder to inspect due to utility connection issues.
