Buyer's Handout Guide - what to expect when buying a home

Home Inspection Time!

One of the first things you’ll want to do after having your offer accepted is to contact a licensed home inspector to perform a home inspection within the timeframe we listed on the accepted offer (usually 10-12 days). The sooner the appointment is booked, the better. Go ahead and book the appointment date and time that works best for you, and we’ll notify the list agent and add to our calendar as well. Plan on being at the property for a few hours for the full home inspection. When you book the home inspection, the inspector may ask if you want to add additional services on top of the full inspection which could include: Radon Testing Water testing—quantity and quality Pest Inspection Lead Inspection You’ll also want to let your home inspector know what type of mortgage you’re using because the inspector will know what to point out at the inspection conditions that may affect your financing.

As your Buyer Agent, we’re able to make specific recommendations for Home Inspectors that we know and trust will be a good fit for your specific situation.
