One of the most exciting parts of the home buying process is inspection day. You get to step inside and take a more detailed look at every room. At this point, many buyers can already visualize what it is going to be like living there!

The most important thing about a home inspection to keep in mind however, is that it is an opportunity for you to see if the condition of the home is up to par before you decide to close the deal.

Looking for a Professional Home Inspector

A licensed, professional home inspector who will conduct a detailed, in-depth inspection of your future home is your best ally during a home inspection. On inspection day, you and your real estate agent should be at the house. The seller’s real estate agent will likely be there as well to address any possible questions addressed by the inspector. Remember to set aside the whole morning or afternoon in your schedule. A home inspection can take up some time, and you want to avoid rushing through it.

While details regarding the home’s systems and other maintenance tips will appear in the final report, being there for the inspection in person is still the best way for you to learn about your future home.
