Why Have a Home Inspection?

Almost everything that we buy we inspect. This is just part of our human nature. However, there are times when we get in over our heads. I took a diamond ring to have it appraised for value. To me the diamond looked just fine, it sparkled like diamonds do. The jeweler took the ring and placed it under a microscope. He looked up at me and said “Do you know that this diamond has numerous flaws in it?”. Not wanting to act too dumb about it I said “Like what?”. He said there are numerous carbon spots and one large fracture. He then gave me a ballpark figure as to what he thought it might be worth. The jeweler ruined my day, but it was not the jewelers fault. It was my fault. I had bought a diamond without having it inspected by a professional. When you buy a home you are investing tens of thousands of dollars of your hard earned money. You owe it to yourself to know what you are buying. Is the roof in good condition? What’s going on in the attic? Has there been frost there or worse yet, not enough insulation? Many home buyers purchase homes with all of their savings, there is nothing left over after the down payment and the closing fees. Nothing is more disheartening than to get moved in and have the furnace fail in the dead of winter or, worse yet, to discover that you have a serious mold problem that is giving you or your children allergy problems. We inspect every home like we are going to buy this home for ourselves. We feel that we have a moral obligation to do the best home inspection possible. We want you to have the peace of mind that you deserve. Home buying doesn’t have to be stressful, especially if you know what you are buying. We guarantee that you will be pleased with the home inspection or it’s free.
