Home Inspection

Why do home buyers need a home inspection?

A home inspection for home buyers is the best way to ensure you’re protected. Buying a home is usually the most significant investment a person will make in their life. However, making this investment without a clear picture of the house’s state could lead to regret and undue financial burden. Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates has the experience you can trust to put your concerns about the home you’re buying to rest.

A home inspection objectively examines a house’s physical structure and systems, from the roof to the foundation. The inspection is not something you can pass or fail since the goal is to describe the physical condition of the home and indicate what areas need repairs. Therefore, the market value of the home will not be impacted.

You need a home inspection as the buyer to protect your investment. A thorough inspection can reveal any significant repairs needed, potential oversights by a builder, or general maintenance required to keep the property in good condition. In addition, the inspection process will give homebuyers a better understanding of the property they are considering buying. Many homebuyers find it valuable to be present during the inspection to be able to see the inspection process and ask questions as they arise.

No house is perfect. If a home inspection results in more repairs or maintenance than the buyer is ready to commit to, it is up to the buyer to decide how to proceed. Gordon & Associates wants to give you the best information possible. After that, the decision is up to the buyer.
