HOME INSPECTION TIPS FOR LAS VEGAS HOME BUYERS WITH SHAWN DAVIS

What to consider when hiring a home inspector?

It’s important to look for a house inspector who has the experience and expertise to do the due diligence you need to protect your investment and your family. Keep the following tips in mind when shopping around:

• Review past or sample inspection reports.

• Don’t just follow your real estate agent’s referrals, shop around.

Our post-inspection services include the HouseMaster Cloud for new home buyers that comes with coupons for services and utility set up assistance. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to move in and get settled.

Few things can be as stressful as the process leading up to the day you get that new set of keys and put out the welcome mat. There are so many decisions that go into buying a house, serious financial considerations, and factors that can end the deal at any time, like the inspection process. During the home inspection process, it’s the inspector’s job to identify problems with the house, such as roof leaks, water damage, areas that don’t meet current building codes, improperly grounded outlets, and structural damage. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the idea of a home inspection, keep reading for a little peace of mind and some good tips to remember.

When is it time to hire a home inspector?

In a world of DIY, some things just can’t be done on your own and ensuring your house gets a proper inspection is one of those things. A question we get regularly is how and when to reach out to an inspector. Our answer is pretty simple: when you need peace of mind and accurate information to protect your interests. The inspection generally happens after you’ve found a property you like and initial offer is accepted, but before the final price is determined. On the flip side, if you’re a homeowner, you might get an inspection before listing your home to ensure there is nothing major wrong that could kill a potential deal. If you’re buying a home under construction, you should hire an inspector twice — once before the walls are closed and then again after the home is complete.

• Always attend your home inspection. If an inspector recommends you don’t, that is likely a red flag.

• Consider training and experience, look for testimonials and reviews
