4 Things to Expect at Your Home Inspection

4 Things to Expect at Your Home Inspection

When you buy a Bel Air home or Fallston home or any other home in the surrounding area, you need to know exactly what you’re buying. Imagine how frustrated you’d be to find out that the hot water heater wasn’t working—in the middle of a shower! This is why you should have a home inspection before you buy your home. This is an important step in the home buying process. You have already searched for a home, talked to your lender, and have a contract# Now is't time for a home inspection. Before you hire a home inspector, ask candidates a few questions to make sure you hire a trustworthy inspector.

1. What does your inspection cover? Not all inspections are the same. Ask for copies of previous home inspections so you can see exactly what they will check inside the Bel Air home# If you are concerned about something specific, like a leaky faucet in the bathroom, mention that to the inspector so they can check it out.
2. Find a licensed Maryland Home Inspector. Linda Greco, as an experienced Realtor, can give you choices of inspectors to call if needed. Read my testimonials from my past clients. At the very least, choose a home inspector who belongs to American Society of Home Inspectors. This shows a level of professionalism and education that you can trust.
3. What kind of report will you give me? You should expect a written report detailing what the inspector found. Most inspectors will give you a typed report within a week of the inspection. Make sure the inspector will be available to explain anything on the report that doesn’t make sense to you.
4. Will I be able to attend the inspection? If the inspector refuses to let you be present during the home inspection, find someone else. This is your chance to know exactly what you are buying and what potential repairs you or the seller will have to make.
