#3.  Avoid Future Cost and Headaches with a Home Inspection

We all know the saying "don't judge a book by its cover."  Well the same is true for houses, so don't get too excited by a house just because it shows well!  Underneath that lovely exterior you may have problems; potentially serious problems.  A qualified home inspector will take an in-depth and impartial look at the property inside and out!  Otherwise you may fall into hidden costs associated with the home when you can no longer negotiate with the seller on price or other terms.

The cost of a home inspection is dependent on the size and characteristics of the property. Generally speaking it’s a few hundred dollars, which is a BARGAIN for the benefits you receive!  A licensed home inspector will examine for any structural concerns, plumbing issues, functionality of the electrical system and heating and cooling, check for mold and mildew, roof damage, leaks in doors or windows, etc.
