Should you attend your home inspection?
I get asked this question all the time…should I attend my home inspection? My answer is YES, if you can. We encourage all of our clients to attend the inspection for several reasons:
It gives you, the homebuyer, an opportunity to look over the house again. We understand that the only time you have had an opportunity to view the house was during the showing. That’s not a lot of time, so this gives you more time to explore your potential new house and maybe even discover something that you didn’t see before.
During your showing you may not have had the opportunity to measure rooms or visualize how you place your furniture and other household goods.
Ask questions of your inspector about systems of your home.
And finally, attending the inspection allows time for the inspector to go over his findings and explain discrepancies and maintenance items of your new home.
So, YES, attend your inspection if you can. We know not everyone can take off work to attend the inspection, but it’s an important step of this transaction.
