What To Expect​

• The inspector evaluates the home's condition to identify defects, safety concerns, and needed repairs.

• You (and your agent) can attend the inspection—this is a great opportunity to learn about the home.

• A detailed report with photos and recommendations is provided within a few days.

• The inspection helps guide negotiation or future repairs—not necessarily a pass/fail test.

​

How To Prepare​​

• Hire a qualified, certified inspector (you can ask your agent for recommendations).

• Plan to attend the inspection and ask questions during or after the walk-through.

• Review the inspection report carefully—flag any major or safety-related issues.

• Discuss findings with your agent to decide on repair requests or renegotiation.

• Don’t panic over small issues—no home is perfect, even new builds.
