Buyers “BE WISE” Get a Home Inspection

It will save you money in the long run!!!

Once you enter into a contract on buying a property you should get a home inspection within 5 to 10 days of contact acceptance. Make sure the home inspector you choose is a certified home inspector.

Why an inspection?

	To protect yourself in an important investment decision.
	To be an informed buyer, knowing if there are any defects present, if those defects are serious and the potential cost to repair them.
	To be an educated home owner, having seen your home through the eyes of an unbiased professional.

Scope

See a Virtual Inspection.

When possible, an Alpha inspection includes your inspector walking on the roof, crawling in the attic and entering crawl spaces.

Inspectors inspect for:

	Safety concerns
	Financial considerations
	Maintenance issues

Who should attend?

You, as the client, are welcome to include anyone you desire in the inspection. Along with you and any family members you may also decide to include your realtor and the listing realtor.
