What is the Home Inspection Process

You home inspection should take an hour and a half for every 1200 ft, so if you are buying that 3600 sq. ft. home, give your self 4-5 hours on your schedule. At the inspection you will literally walk side by side with the inspector as he goes over the property. As he or she finds things that are wrong he will note them, take a picture, and explain to you what he or she would suggest.

Where Can You Find a Home Inspector

As always, a good place to start your search for a real estate inspector is on GOOGLE, lol, but, hopefully you are working with a Real Estate Agent who put you under contract for a great deal; a real estate agent or real estate brokerage firm will be able to give you a great referral. And last, but not least, ask someone you know who has bought a home, hopefully they did an inspection and they can give you a referral.
