When should I have a home inspection?

Typically the home inspection takes place within ten to fifteen days of signing an agreement of sale.
A “pre-listing” inspection is also an option. A pre-listing inspection will inform our client as to what should be replaced or repaired. Upon completion of the repairs the full selling price can be confidently asked while boosting profit.
New homes should also be inspected. Because they are new does not mean that all is well. Many communication errors happen on construction sites leading to mistakes. Considerable aggravation may ensue by not discovering such mistakes. We have pre-drywall and pre-settlement inspection packages available.
Much of the settlement, mechanical and/or workman’s defects manifest themselves within the first year of new construction. An inspection prior to the builder’s warranty expiration would be prudent in any regard, but especially if you are at odds with the builder.
