Buying a home?
​The process of buying a home can be stressful.
​A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. Inspections often include a written report, a checklist, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this, combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself, makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Breath. Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies for various systems and components, and minor imperfections. These are useful to know about so you can plan for them in the future. However, the issues that really matter will typically fall into four major categories:

  1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure;
  2. Things that lead to major defects, such as a small roof-flashing leak, for example;
  3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home; and
  4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electrical panel.

​Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often, a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).

Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. This is simply because if something changes slowly over the course of five years you become used to it.

​Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Do not kill your deal over things that do not matter. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items.
