1. Reasons to Hire a
Home Inspector

2. Introduction
• Home inspections are most commonly done before
closing on the purchase of a new or pre-owned home, but
can also be taken advantage of in a variety of different
instances and situations.
• Hiring a home inspector allows you to get a good idea of
the current condition of the property, along with all of the
repairs that may be needed and maintenance that is highly
recommended.

3. Introduction
• While the majority of home
inspectors are hired to take a
look over 75% of homes that
are sold on a daily basis, they
do not stop there. Here are
some top reasons that you
may opt to hire a seasoned
home inspector for your
needs.

4. Pre-Sale Home Inspections
• Pre-sale home inspections are by far one of the most
popular instances that you may choose to hire an
inspector.
• Simply looking at the home does not guarantee that you
know the current condition of different aspects of the
household such as plumbing, electricity, if the appliances
are working, if the roof needs repair and more.

5. Pre-Sale Home Inspections
• Before you purchase the home, know exactly what you're
getting into and if any repairs are going to be needed in
the near future.
• Knowing the present market conditions of the home may
even be able to score you a better deal on the purchase
price or will give you the satisfaction of knowing that
you are purchasing a home in excellent marketable
condition.

6. Maintenance Inspections
• Both homes and businesses can benefit from maintenance
inspections on a regular basis. Because there could be
faults and problems hiding within your home or place of
business that you are unaware of, these trained inspectors
are able to assess the situation and inform you of any
maintenance needs.
• Preventative maintenance is a necessary part of being a
homeowner.

7. Maintenance Inspections
• Not only will inspectors tell you what is currently wrong
with the maintenance of your home, but they will also
help you in setting up a plan and schedule of preventative
maintenance techniques such as caulking your wood
siding and cleaning out your air conditioning units.

8. Identifying Your Concerns
• It is common to hear strange noises coming from
different areas of your house, to notice an odd odor
coming from the basement or to be concerned about a
crack that may appear within your foundation or siding.
• At an hourly rate, most home inspectors will come out to
your property to assess your concerns and to educate you
about what these different noises, smells and more could
be coming from.

9. Identifying Your Concerns
• While doing home inspections, these inspectors see all
types of problems on a daily basis and will be able to
narrow down your issues and possible repairs needed
efficiently.

10. Witness Services
• Another reason that you may need to hire a home
inspector could be for witness services. This could be
needed if you are filing a complaint against a tenant for
the issue to be legally resolved between the two parties.
• The inspection will inspect your concerns and provide
written documentation about the current condition of the
home to be provided in court.
