How to avoid Skipping the Home Inspection

If you’re home searching in a competitive market, you may consider skipping the home inspection to make your offer stand out. However, skipping this step can result in finding significant and expensive issues after the home is in your possession. A home inspection is essential to discovering any potential problems with the property.

Here are some suggestions on how to avoid skipping the home inspection:

Educate Yourself: Understand the importance of a home inspection in uncovering potential issues that may not be visible during a walkthrough.

Communicate with Your Realtor: Make it clear to your real estate agent that a home inspection is non-negotiable for you, and ask them to include an inspection contingency clause in your offer.

Plan Ahead: Schedule your home inspection as soon as possible after your offer is accepted to ensure there's enough time for the inspection to take place before closing.

Stay Flexible: Be open to scheduling the inspection at a time that works for both you and the seller to avoid any delays.

Trust the Experts: Hire a reputable home inspector with experience and positive customer reviews that will help you understand the home you plan to purchase.

Attend the Inspection: Whenever possible, attend the inspection yourself so you can ask questions and gain a better understanding of the property's condition.

Consider the Risks: Understand that skipping the inspection may save you time and money upfront, but it could lead to costly repairs or safety hazards down the line.

By following these tips, you can ensure that you don't skip the home inspection and make an informed decision about your potential new home.

Upgrades, repairs and replacements are top of mind for any home buyer or seller. And of course their main question is “How much will that cost?” Ask for copies of our current Pillar To Post Cost Guide or download it today!
