When you're in the process of purchasing a new home, one of the most crucial steps is hiring a professional home inspector. A thorough inspection can provide you with invaluable insights into the condition of the property and potential issues. To ensure that you make an informed decision, it's essential to ask the right questions before hiring a home inspector. In this blog, we will discuss the five key questions you should consider.

I am an ASHI certified home inspector at True Blue Home Inspections. I can provide a comprehensive home inspection and report on all types of properties in Chicago and the suburbs. I am available to the client should they have questions about negotiated repairs or planned upgrades. As an expert in the field, I want to keep my clients informed about how their home inspector can help them understand their reports. 

When buying a home, you have the right to complete many different types of inspections of the potential home you’re purchasing. Whether you have purchased five homes or you’re going to buy your first home, a home inspection in almost every case is highly recommended.

Home inspectors are trained to spot damage, recognize the symptoms of defects, and report them to the buyer before the closing to make an informed decision. A home inspection firm looks at all aspects of home construction. It uses its knowledge of a wide range of factors like structural integrity, quality plumbing, and safe electrical wiring to assess and provide reports on the property’s physical condition.

Getting into the housing market, while lucrative, is also risky in several ways. It’s a big decision that will affect your peace of mind as a house can look great on the outside, but be hiding all kinds of troublesome issues the previous owners either don’t know about or would like to forget. Finding a home inspector that can assist in locating hard-to-see damage, moisture build-up and offer advice on how to rectify the issues is a significant step towards a home that always looks great and holds its value.

Whether you’re planning to buy or sell a house, it’s essential to check the condition of the property, as it will affect your bargaining power when negotiating a deal. Therefore, it’s imperative to hire a home inspector to check that all the significant areas of the building, including plumbing, electrics, and structure, are maintained and don’t require any repairs.
