Q: Do I have to attend the home inspection?

 

A: It’s a good idea to attend the home inspection because any questions you may have can usually be answered on the spot. It’s important for sellers to keep in mind the inspector has not been retained to point out all of the good aspects of the home, and they should not feel offended when the inspector points out a defect or potential defects.

 

Q: What do I do if significant issues, problems, or defects are discovered through the course for the Home Inspection process?

A: Be proud of yourself for choosing to have a Home Inspection! The Inspector is willing to answer your questions and explain any of the issues, problems, and defects. After that, it is up to you to decide how to proceed, now that you are informed about the condition of the property you are considering. This next step is usually discussed by you and your Realtor. We always recommend obtaining repair cost/estimates from qualified professionals prior to close.
