What to Know About Your Home Inspection
During the inspection period, we will schedule an inspection with a reputable home inspector to do a thorough investigation of the home. This typically is required to take place 7-10 business days after signing the contract. Once this is complete, the inspector will provide us with a list of their findings. You can take the issues as-is or request the seller to address some or all of the findings. We will be mindful and reasonable on smaller items, while being very cautious and vigilant of potentially significant issues.
