Ever wonder when you should call in a home inspector?
It’s not just when you’re buying a home—or selling one. There are other times you might want to get an inspection of your home, too.
Here are just a few:
1. When you’re the one selling your house and want to know what issues buyers might encounter so you can fix them first. Of course, you want the buyer’s inspection to go well!
2. When you’ve lived somewhere for a while and want a home inspector to check out your house—even though you don’t plan on moving (maybe it’s time for some maintenance).
3. When you’ve made improvements and pulled permits, the city has to check your work (which is required by law).
These scenarios can all be stressful! You want to know that a qualified, honest, and thorough person is inspecting your home—and that they have no hidden agenda or ulterior motives. Plus, it pays to be aware of common home inspection scams before this process begins.
