    Insist on a Home Inspection

    Published 04/10/2025 | Posted by Bob Allen

    A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property’s defects.

    A home inspection usually covers the following:

    • Plumbing conditions - if there is leakage or clogging
    • Roofing conditions - the extent of deterioration, if there is leakage
    • Electrical conditions - if there are inadequate circuits or potential fire hazards
    • Structural problems - if there are problems with the underlying foundation of your home


    As a seller, the home inspection reports protect you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.​
