Today we are talking about home inspections. They are very common with buyers when they purchase a new home, but a lot of times buyers don’t exactly understand why. We are going to go through some of the benefits of a home inspection today.

For starters, a home inspection protects you against anything that could be wrong with a home. From problems with the roof, the plumbing, electrical work, or termites, an inspection will protect you against any major defects a home has.

It also helps with your insurance. Homes over a certain age have to have an inspection, which will lower your insurance payments.


Home inspections also allow you to get out of your contract if there is something wrong with the house that isn’t seen by the naked eye. Home inspectors have a good way of getting into attics, checking pipes and wiring, and really seeing everything that you wouldn’t be checking if you were inspecting a home.

We recommend that all of our buyers get a home inspection, it just doesn’t make sense not to. If you have any questions for us about inspections or about real estate in general, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
