Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Is a home inspection required?

A home inspection is not required for the purchase or sale of real estate. However, future mortgage lending requirements may require a home inspection to document the condition of the property prior to commitment. A home inspection is an impartial second opinion regarding the condition of the property on the day of inspection. The home inspector is generally the ONLY person who is in your corner, representing your interests by using training, experience, and observation skills to document the visual problems in the home.

Will the current owner be present during the inspection?

While we cannot assure that the home will be vacated during the inspection, most times your realtor will try to arrange a time convenient for all parties. Your real estate professional also wants you to receive a complete and unbiased report.

Who else receives a copy of the report?

The home inspection report is created for the sole confidential and exclusive use by the client. The client decides who should receive a copy of the report. The information contained in the report becomes the property of the client.

If the house proves to be in good condition, did I really need an inspection?

Definitely. Now you can complete your home purchase with peace of mind about the condition of the property and all its equipment and systems. You will also have learned a few things about your new home from the inspector's report, and will want to keep that information for future reference. Above all, you can feel assured that you are making a well-informed purchase decision, and that you will be able to enjoy your new home the way you want to.

The inspector will not answer questions regarding the value of the property or whether or not you should purchase it.
