Why YOU Need a Home Inspection:

If you are like most people, buying your first home has been a lifelong cherished dream. After much searching, you have finally stumbled onto a property that looks like your dream could very well become a reality. But wait! Before you seal the deal, you simply must invest in a home inspection. Here’s why!

What can a home inspection do for me?

A home inspection is the only way you can truly determine the physical and functional state of your potential property. An untrained eye can be easily deceived by a clever paint job or overlook seemingly minor structural flaws that actually disguise greater defects. What could be worse than moving into your new home only to discover a laundry list of repairs that still need to be done!

With a thorough home inspection, you will receive a report of the status quo of your potential property. With this knowledge, you can have the tools that you need to negotiate the price with the seller or to request that repairs be done prior to move-in. After all, no one likes unexpected surprises! With a home inspection, you can know exactly what you are getting into before you move in! 

The house is brand new and I can’t wait to move in! Do I still need a home inspection?

Good question! Prospective buyers may enter a real estate transaction with the false sense of security that a newly built house can have no problems.

No matter what the age of a property, a home inspection is a necessity that simply cannot be overemphasized. A newly constructed house may boast a pristine appearance but looks can be deceiving. Such a property will tell you nothing about the durability and lifetime of its various structural components.

This is where a professional home inspector can point out existing deficiencies or even problems waiting to happen. A comprehensive report will thoroughly acquaint you with your future property, both inside and out. After all, no house is just a house. It is your home!

I’m sold. But wait a minute: I’m pretty good with construction and I’ve been around houses a long time already. Can’t I just do this on my own and save a few bucks?

Just as with any trade, home inspection is an intricate craft that requires both training and experience to master. AllMax home inspectors hold themselves to the highest standard of excellence and continually upgrade their skills and knowledge by keeping up with changing housing rules and regulations and the latest technology.

While we agree that you may be able to independently uncover one or two problems with your future property, this will not assure you the peace of mind that you need to move in. A reliable home inspection that you can trust requires the experience and skills of a professional to scrutinize your potential property. A one-time investment in a home inspection can save you thousands of dollars in future repairs and upgrades!
