Home Inspector: How much do they really know?
When you are buying a home, you want to make sure you're not getting a lemon. Your Home Inspector is the one person on your Real Estate team that has the knowledge you need at a critical time. A home is comprised of many complex components and your Home Inspector is trained to look for things that the average person (even your brother-in-law, who is a contractor) may not consider. Your home is most likely the largest purchase you will make, so make it the best decision of your life. You and your family will appreciate it later. When you hire a Home Inspector, you want to make sure they are experienced. Now, in most States it is required that a Home Inspector be licensed. When a Home Inspector is licensed, it means that they have gone through rigorous course study and training. A licensed Home Inspector is also required to have many apprenticed Home Inspections under their belt prior to earning their license. This is an area in the real estate industry that has been carefully regulated, and for good reason. Your Home Inspector will cover the following areas during a home inspection: grading, driveways, sidewalks, exterior, decks, porches, foundation, structure, doors, windows, insulation, ventilation, heating system, cooling system, plumbing, electrical, gas service, flooring, roof, attic, basement, crawlspace and interior. The cost of an average home inspection is relatively inexpensive when considering the amount of knowledge and time your Home Inspector has in the area of houses and the components they contain. You get all that knowledge to yourself for a day. Wow, and you didn't even have to crack open a book. Take advantage of what your Home Inspector has to offer. They are there to help you.
