Do I need a Home Inspection?
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you’ll ever make. You will want to learn as much as you can about this house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs, as well as maintenance to keep it in good shape.

As your Realtor, I can provide you with a list of licensed home inspectors to help you narrow down your options when searching for a home inspector.
