The Importance of Communicating With Your Home Inspector

When you hire a home inspector for a professional property assessment, rest assured, they are working in your best interest. Home inspectors are trained to detect underlying issues and analyze the conditions of the home; making you aware of any possible concerns or repairs that you should anticipate.

While some customers opt to leave the home inspector alone for him to do the job on their own, it is actually helpful for you to join them on the inspection. Of course the inspector takes detailed notes and photographs of any findings, however, if you join them, you will receive more value and input during that one on one time for conversation.

There’s no need to be concerned that the inspector will want you to climb on the roof or scuttle through the dark crawlspaces or attic, he will do that solo. However, if you’re available during the process, he will have the opportunity to share specifics with you that will prove beneficial down the road.

Some of these include:

• Placing priority on the findings

• Answering your questions about the issues he discovers

• The most cost-efficient option for resolving a problem

• The most ideal solution
