What Is A Home Inspection?

A home inspection is one of the most important parts in any real estate transaction. Home Inspections help buyers understand what’s going on with a property before they actually purchase it. Without it, buyers risk purchasing a property that needs a lot of repairs which can be costly.

A home inspection is an independent evaluation of a property and its structure by a licensed home inspector to document the property’s condition, report on the general condition, and recommend specialized contractors where needed.
