CHAPTER 8 What to Know about w about Home Inspections
Congratulations! You’ve found the one —the house that checks all your boxes and has you dreaming of lazy Sundays on the porch. But before you start imagining the housewarming party, there’s one essential step you simply cannot skip: the home inspection. Think of it as a reality check—a deep dive beneath that glossy surface, where charming curb appeal meets potentially disastrous plumbing. The house may look polished, but what if it’s hiding termites, mold, or a roof that’s about as solid as your Wi-Fi on a stormy day? Why Do You Need a Home Inspection? A home inspection is your opportunity to understand the true condition of your soon-to-be castle. It’s not about assigning blame or nitpicking flaws; it’s about making an informed decision. Skipping this step might save a few bucks upfront, but if there’s a hidden problem (say, a foundation crack or a dying HVAC system), the repair bills could haunt your budget for years to come. It’s worth the time and money to know what you’re walking into. Not sure how to find the right home inspector? Scan the QR code below for my guide, “16 Questions to Ask Your Home Inspector.”
