The most basic reason to get an inspection is that most lenders won't offer finance without one. In some situations, realtors are known to include home inspection clauses in their contracts, especially in new construction. We like to think Inspections are the courting period of your property relationship before the full commitment.

​

Your dream property could be a total-rehab, blank-slate retail space or new construction. All three can be money pits, have investment potential or include everything in-between. Home Inspections can help define a crack in the basement as a foundation issue or maybe the house is just settling. With the right knowledge that fixer-upper might not be so intimidating. There is so much more to a property than the paint on the walls.
