The purchase of a home is one of the largest investments the average consumer will make in his or her lifetime. Once you have reached a decision that a property and home are right for you, it is time to call upon a qualified home inspector to evaluate the conditions of the property and structure.
A professional home inspection will include a visual analysis of the readily accessible areas of the home and property. It should include the exterior conditions of the premises as well as a thorough examination of the interior conditions, HVAC (Heating & Air conditioning), Electrical, and Plumbing systems. The home inspector will be able to explain the basic functions of the above systems, answer any questions and visually point out conditions that may be of concern to you.
At the completion of the inspection the home inspector will provide our client a detailed written report of the general conditions, and any discrepancies found in the home. Once you have received your report you may have questions. Write them down and call your inspector to discuss each item carefully. If you follow these basic recommendations you will be well informed and confident about your purchase.

Inspection vs Appraisal
"Do I need a home inspection when my bank is having the house appraised?"
Yes! An appraisal is an independent evaluation of the current market value of a house or property. In general, the purpose of an appraisal is to set the current value of a property so that a lender may determine how much it can loan to the buyer. The appraiser looks at similar properties in the area and the prices at which they were sold to set the value of the house. A professional home inspector conducts a thorough evaluation of the homes major systems and structural integrity. The appraiser is typically working for the bank, the home inspector is working for you!!
