The Home Inspection Checklist
When you’re buying a home, whether it’s a Port Royal condo or a house in El Pescador—or anything else, for that matter—the home inspection is incredibly important.
Why Do You Need a Home Inspection?
It always pays to have a home inspector run through a home and uncover problems, issues, and things you’ll need to know about for the future.
Most real estate purchase contracts have a home inspection contingency, which can really save you if something big pops up. If the issue is one you can’t work with or that will stop you from wanting the home, you could walk away from the deal if the seller doesn’t make the appropriate accommodations.
