Who needs a home inspection?
Buyers: To be educated about the property and any issues that may require special considerations, repairs, negotiations, or planning.
Sellers: To find and resolve unknown issues BEFORE the buyer's inspection. This eliminates surprises that may require additional negotiations and allows you to have greater control and possibly save money on repairs.
New Home Owners: In the 11th month before your builder's one-year warranty expires. You will discover issues while the builder is still responsible and available to make repairs.
