Depending on where you live, the real estate market has been really hot the last few years. Why you want a home inspectionGetting a home inspection before buying a home can save you a major headache down the road, not to mention tens of thousands of dollars. When you walk through a potential home with an inspector (and I always recommend to attend the inspection, if possible), they can point out any major red flags with a home. If you know you’ll need to update the roof in the next 10 years, then it’s something you can plan ahead of time. Requiring that all home inspectors are licensed and insured will go a long way to protecting vulnerable homeowners.
