Home Inspections: An Essential Part of the Home Buying Process

Buying a home is a large investment and you want to make sure there are no surprises waiting for you after closing.  For instance, is the foundation in stable condition?  Have there been water issues in the past?  Have the mechanicals been serviced recently?  Is the sewer line intact?  These are some of the things you’re going to want to know during the inspection period.     In this episode, I'll cover the importance of getting a home inspection, what the real estate contract states regarding your rights as a Buyer and whether or not you should negotiate away these rights to get your offer accepted in this competitive market.
