HOME INSPECTIONS
OR AS I SAY
“CALLING THE BABY UGLY”
SMART MONEY SPENT
Buying a home is a big investment. It’s crucial to protect that investment by getting a home inspection—after all, it’s the inspector’s job to “CALL THE BABY UGLY” and reveal any hidden issues. This is SMART MONEY SPENT. Do not purchase a home without a home inspection.
Uncover Hidden Issues: A home might look perfect, but there could be underlying problems. If possible, you and your realtor should attend the inspection to see issues firsthand and get immediate explanations from the inspector.
Safety and Health: A good inspector will identify safety hazards like electrical issues, mold, or structural defects, ensuring the home meets building code
Negotiating Power: If the inspection reveals “problems,” you can request that the seller hire a licensed contractor to make repairs, negotiate a price reduction, or handle the repairs yourself after closing. For major issues, walking away might be the best choice.
Walking Away: Walking away from a transaction can be challenging after spending money on an inspection. That is exactly why a HOME INSPECTION is SMART MONEY SPENT. That inspection most likely saved you from making a mistake.
An inspection might seem like an added expense, but it’s an investment in peace of mind. Don’t skip this crucial step—SMART MONEY SPENT helps avoid buying a problem.
