Why request a home inspection?

What should I expect?

The inspection is a limited visual inspection of the home. A typical inspection takes approximately three hours.

Think of the inspector as a medical general practitioner. A home inspector is a generalist that has a broad base of knowledge but is typically not an expert in any single area. If problems are apparent, the inspector may refer to a specialist in that field, much like a general practitioner may refer a patient to a cardiologist or a dermatologist. We encourage the home buyer to be present during the inspection if at all possible. This will increase the knowledge and comfort level of the buyer and allow the inspector to share tips and ideas for home preservation.
