A Special Report Prepared By: Erich Salas

Tip No. 10

Hire a professional home inspector...

In my experience, spending a few hundred dollars on a professional home inspection is the best investment you’ll ever make. A professional inspector brings experience in examining a great many homes, good evaluation standards and an unbiased perspective. And a written report can be an excellent negotiating tool.

A Typical Inspection Looks at:

•    Foundation (slab, crawlspace, basement, etc.)

•    Electrical, heating and plumbing systems

•    Floors, walls and ceilings

•    Attic

•    Roof

•    Siding and trim

•    Porches, patios and decks

•    Garage

•    Property drainage

Make sure you accompany your inspector on the tour. You’ll learn a lot about the home you’re thinking of buying.

Once you have your evaluation, the decision to proceed is yours. A home inspector only gives you a professional opinion of the home’s condition, not advice as to whether or not you should buy. 

Please feel free to call me if you would like further explanation on any of these topics, or if you have any real estate questions at all. I simply see my mission as striving to be as helpful as I possibly can to area home owners. I hope this special report provides the information you need to be an informed home buyer or seller......
