Buying an older home is a risk with many rewards. Older homes often have more charm and better craftsmanship than newer homes. If they’ve not undergone renovations or updates, many of the home’s systems will be out of date or need repairs.

Excess moisture is dangerous in homes. It causes costly damage and poses risks to your family’s health. During a home inspection, our professional inspectors look for and report any evidence of excess moisture or damage from moisture.

If you are in the process of purchasing a home, schedule a termite inspection. You risk thousands of dollars in potential damage if a termite infestation goes unnoticed. Also, most mortgage lenders require a termite inspection before they approve a loan.

When selling a home most homeowners go through a home inspection process. In fact, most purchase agreements include a contingency based on the outcome of the home inspection. The buyer has the right to walk away from the contract if the home inspection reveals issues and the two parties can’t come to an agreement about repairs.

Avoid these common mistakes home buyers make to set yourself up for success. Contact us to schedule a full home inspection.
