Home Inspection 101: More than Just a Look Inside a House
By Hilarey Wojtowicz
When buying or selling a home, it is important to know
what you are dealing with. Home inspections can offer
homeowners and buyers the chance to get more for their
money. Is the house in good condition? Will it need a lot
of work in one area within the upcoming years? What
damage has been done and has it been repaired properly?
Home inspectors can easily answer each of these
questions and can refer you to other resources needed for
a successful inspection.
