Home Inspection

A home inspection is a thorough examination of a property's condition conducted by a trained professional inspector. During the inspection, the inspector evaluates various aspects of the home including structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and other major components. The inspection typically takes 2-3 hours and provides buyers with valuable information about potential issues or needed repairs before finalizing their purchase. Homebuyers may accompany the inspector to ask questions and learn more about the property's condition. While not mandatory in all areas, inspections are highly recommended as they can help buyers avoid costly surprises after moving in and provide leverage for negotiations with sellers. The average cost of a home inspection is around $300-$500, depending on location and home size.
