It’s taken your real estate agent months to find you that perfect house, and in your excitement to put in an offer, you might not even think about things that fail a home inspection — why would you? No one wants to think for one second that the home they’ve fallen in love with could have some serious issues! To prepare you for any surprises, let’s highlight the most common problems that could put your dream home on hold. The home inspection is an important step in the homebuying process because it could save you a lot of money in the long run. Although you may not want to shell out another $300 to $500 for one, these inspections have saved homeowners an average of $14,000! During the inspection, a licensed home inspector will come out to the property to look for any issues. They’ll check to make sure the home is structurally sound, that the electrical and plumbing work is safe, and more. As the inspector goes through the house, they may even recommend contacting specialized home inspectors for additional inspections.Why get a home inspection?
