Many homebuyers and home sellers lose thousands of dollars on their home sale or home purchase by not having adequate home inspections completed. For the homebuyer, this is essential, because it will let you know of any problems that the property may have prior to your completion of the purchase or sale. This will certainly limit the number of surprises that many new homeowners have had to deal with.

For the home seller, having your property pre-inspected prior to going on the market will let you know of any problems ahead of time. By having a clean inspection report to present to prospective home buyers, your home will be more saleable, you will spend less time on the market and typically get better offers.  You will also avoid having to negotiate repairs during your escrow period, which can be both stressful and expensive.

When ordering inspections a pest inspection is of most importance. An all-home inspection, in addition, will go into more detail with heating, electrical, appliances, etc.  Do some research here and find a reputable company. There are many reputable companies, but a less than reputable one could create some problems and cost you dearly. Get references!
