Home inspections are a part of the real estate transaction. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize the items that may appear on a home inspection report. It is important to know that certain loan types (e.g. FHA, VA) require certain items to be fixed prior to a buyer’s loan being funded. A real estate professional can help prepare a homeowner for those uncertainties.
Here are 7 home inspection tips:
- Know that it is common for 25+ items to come up on a home inspection report
- Work with your real estate professional to help negotiate requested repair items
- Allow the inspector to do his/her job…don’t hound them
- Ensure utilities are on during the home inspection
- Declutter the home as much as possible
- Understand the impacts of DIY or prior remodeling projects
- Don’t try to conceal known issues (Note: This can cause legal problems in the future!)
