Omaha Home Inspection Information
Buying a home is big decision and investment. That’s why I recommend you have your home professionally inspected. A good inspector will identify potential problems, go over maintenance tips, and or recommend needed repairs. There are several things that could happen after a home inspection. Depending on the severity of the problems identified by the inspector, the buyer can decide to back out of the contract, accept the home as is or request the seller fix any problems. The buyer and seller can also agree to a dollar value in lieu of repairs, which can be the most effective way of dealing with needed repairs.
Here are a few questions to ask a home inspector:
-
What are your qualifications?
-
Do you have a current license? Inspectors are not required to be licensed in every state.
-
How many inspections of properties such as this do you do each year?
-
Do you carry professional errors and omission insurance? May I have a copy of the policy?
-
Do you provide any guarantees of your work?
-
What specifically will the inspection cover?
-
What type of report will I receive after the inspection?
-
How long will the inspection take and how long will it take to receive the report?
-
How much will the inspection cost?
