At first glance, the home that you are considering for purchase may appear to be in great shape. When walking through what may be your new home, you are probably thinking about the livability of the home, where the furniture would go, where to put the TV, which room is right for the teenager and which room is right for the toddler. Very few buyers are thinking about the aluminum wiring in the walls that could be overheating, the freon pipe in the attic that has a gap in the insulation causing water to drip onto the sheetrock, or the sticking window and the hall door that won’t close and what that might mean to the foundation of the home. Chances are that you did not think of these things either.

A home, any home, can have defects, even new homes. And most buyers have no idea what these defects might be or how to find them. Having your home inspected by a Licensed Professional Real Estate Inspector is not only an excellent bargaining tool at the sales table, it is mandatory if you hope to provide a safe haven for your family.

A home inspection has become almost automatic in any real estate transaction, with inspections performed in well over 90% of all home sales. Home inspections have proven themselves over and over, by providing information on safety hazards, foundations, HVAC and electrical systems, plumbing and home structural components to the potential buyer, giving them the information needed to make an informed and careful decision.

A home inspection also provides the buyer with an easy peace of mind, about the home, its defects, its repairs and the safety issues that might have gone unnoticed until tragedy struck.

I hope you will spend some time with us here on our web site and learn more about your home and what an inspection can do for you.
