What to Look for Before Hiring an Inspector

A home inspection is a critical step in the buying process, but why spend hundreds of dollars on an inspection for a house that has obvious issues you could spot yourself? By understanding what an inspector looks for—such as structural integrity, roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems—you can catch red flags early and avoid wasting time and money on properties that aren’t worth pursuing. While a professional inspection is always recommended before closing, having this knowledge allows you to eliminate homes with major defects before getting to that step. A quick walk-through with the right insights can help you determine if a home is worth the investment or if it’s best to move on before spending a dime on an inspector.

⚠️ **Important:** A home inspection can **save you thousands** and help you avoid a bad investment. If serious problems are found, you **have the right to negotiate repairs or cancel the deal**—without losing your deposit!
