Why Should I get a Home Inspection?

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make. Amid the excitement of finding the perfect place, it's easy to overlook the less glamorous—but crucial—steps, like the home inspection. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, a thorough inspection can save you thousands and provide peace of mind.

A home inspection is a professional evaluation of a property's major systems and structure—like the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It can reveal hidden issues that may not be visible during a casual walk-through, and gives you insight into the history of the home.

Identifying these problems early gives buyers the power to negotiate repairs or adjust the sale price. In some cases, it might even be a deal-breaker—saving you from a costly mistake (ever see the movie “Money Pit”?).
