Should you attend the Home Inspection ?

Absolutely !

Home inspections are vital in real estate transactions, providing a professional assessment of the property’s condition. This crucial information enhances your understanding of your investment. But should you, as a homeowner or potential buyer, attend this inspection? The answer is typically a resounding “yes.”

Here are a number of good reasons why its a great idea to attend the Home Inspection of your pending sale or purchase!

Joining the inspection process provides numerous advantages:

• Learning Opportunity: Deepen your knowledge of the home’s systems and up-keep requirements.

• Visual Verification: Observe any issues the inspector spots firsthand.

• Direct Queries: Interact with the inspector to clear doubts and gain insights.

• Comprehensive Explanation: Inspectors can explain their findings in detail and offer guidance.

Your participation can also benefit the inspector. They can address your queries, elaborate on your observations, and provide immediate clarifications.

However, while clients are always encouraged to accompany the inspector, Inspectors require undivided attention for a thorough property evaluation.

A few easy to remember guidelines:

• Let the inspector lead and follow their path.

• Important - Refrain from touching anything without the inspector’s approval.

• Save your queries for the end unless they’re urgent.

• Avoid engaging the inspector in off-topic conversations.

The inspection process is more than observational—it’s educational. Your participation can provide invaluable insights into the property you plan to buy (or sell).
