The job of a home inspector is an important one when you are trying to determine where the weak spots in a particular property are.
The most common application of a home inspector is usually when a prospective home buyer is considering closing on a house. There are many things that you might miss on your own as you make your rounds with a real estate agent, or in doing your own investigations. The role of a home inspector is to use our professional expertise in order to catch problems — current or future — with the home and inform you of them so that you can make an informed decision when choosing whether to walk away or start negotiating prices with the seller. They can also be useful for sellers wanting to avoid any nasty surprises as they plan out how much they can ask for a home.
However, home inspectors aren’t useful only for buying or selling homes. It can be a wise decision to invest in regular visits from a home inspector for your own property. Doing this will help you to identify any forming problems, and it will help you be able to make a plan for addressing them before they turn into bigger, more expensive issues down the line.
At Streamline Inspections, we specialize in a number of fields that help us perform holistic, thorough home inspections for anyone, whether they are buying, selling, or already living in a house in need of an inspection.
