How To Do A Home Inspection
And Protect Yourself From Costly Blunders

There doesn't appear to be any statistics on the subject, but it is our belief from years of experience that most home sellers do not disclose all the defects they're aware of.  This is not to say that these sellers are being outright deceptive, but instead, many are simply unaware of the importance of providing a buyer with a thorough disclosure about their home and property.  You're simple awareness of this problem will help you Avoid A Lemon Of A Home.

Not All Inspections Are Equal

What also complicates your home inspection risk is that a rather large percentage of homebuyers will proceed to hire an inspection at the least cost, and without much regard for the inspector's qualifications.  Buyers just assume (and perhaps, hope), that all home inspections are about the same, and that their inspector will be adequate.  The potential mistakes and future costs that can result from unqualified inspections, are greater than one might think.  

Thorough Inspections Are Worth The Price

In order to make a sound financial decision about any property, you must understand that the cost of the most comprehensive and competent home inspectors is relatively small, as compared to the cost of the overall investment of buying that house. 

Ain't No Perfect Homes

Second, you must recognize that the disclosures provided by the seller only share limited insight into the property, and should only be referenced for obvious red flags.  Even homes and properties that appear flawless, have unseen problems.  Every home does!
