Why is a Home Inspection necessary?
You are about to purchase on of the largest investments in your lifetime. A Home Inspection can tell you if the house is in need of major structural repairs, the condition of the heating & cooling system, plumbing, electrical, roof, wet crawlspace areas and many other things.

Why should I get a Pre-Home Inspection?
This is probably the most cost effective decision a home seller will ever make. Home sellers wait until a buyer comes along and makes and offer, which is usually contingent on the home inspection and the items found during the inspection process. Along comes Mr. Home Inspector who might or might not find major problems with the structure, heating and cooling system, plumbing, electrical, etc. If a structural problem is found a Structural Engineer may need to be consulted.
All of the above mentioned items can easily delay or even derail your sale. This would require you to start the process all over again. The property would need to be shown on a regular basis and keep in show condition. What if you need the proceeds to close on another house or if you are moving out of town and cannot afford delays?
A professional home inspection can give you a one up on your competition by identifying any items the might need repair before the house is put on the market. Since the majority of times needed repairs are discovered at the time of the inspection through the buyer, and most of the repairs are the responsibility of the home owner or negotiated why not take care of them immediately.
The care of your home with its first impression can translate into a faster sale with a possible higher sale price due to its immaculate appearance to the buyer.
