Not Just A Home Inspection…A Home Instruction!

Home Inspection Cost and Inclusions

From your Friends at Home Quest Home Inspection!

Every homebuyer knows how emotionally overwhelming the home buying process can be. After all, you are so close to owning your dream home. But you also spend a huge amount of money on the down payment, future mortgage obligations as well as other expenses. It’s no wonder many buyers prefer to skip the home inspection to cut down on costs. However, learning how to protect the investment of purchasing a property is often overlooked by many, especially first time home buyers. Just the thought of the home inspection expense can be daunting for some that they choose not to have it performed and close on the home As-Is. 

But, the home inspection is a crucial and integral part of a real estate transaction. It is a way to ensure that you are getting what you are paying. Meaning, you become knowledgeable of the home, not be surprised with hidden problems and costly repairs once you move in. If you think that the home inspection expense is too much, it can be the other way around. The inspection cost is only a small fraction of what potential expenses for repairs can be, and knowing about issues before closing can even save you thousands down the road.
