What does an inspector do? How do I know if I need one? What is included in a home inspection? Carson M. - Bushland, Tx
Carson,
Great Questions! A Home Inspector is a qualified professional who comes and visually inspects the structure and all the components of a home. They look for potential problems or immediate problems and then they provide a written report to you with the description of any problem areas that may include recommendations for further evaluations.
6 Things that an Inspector Will Review
Some buyers may require a check on the plumbing system or sewer lines.
A buyer can attend an inspection that is done on the property of their choosing, which brings forth the opportunity to explore your new home further and ask the inspector any questions as they go.
Tip:
If you are scheduled for an inspector to come for an inspection, make sure that you do a deep clean and make sure the electrical panel is accessible, make sure your home smells good throughout, make sure that if you have an attic or basement they can access it and check for any damages.

Gary who pays for a home inspection?
The buyer usually asks and pays for the home inspection. Some sellers insist on paying it for the buyers and could even have a current inspection to give to potential buyers. The home inspection is negotiable depending on the home your interested in purchasing. For example, brand new commercialized subdivisions have current inspections that can be given to any potential home owners.
