Importance of Choosing a Professional Home Inspector

KEY LARGO, Fla. - Aug. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Per Sally Stribling, Top producing Real

Estate Agent in the Upper Florida Keys,”Of course, you don’t want to hire a home inspector that doesn’t deliver. You’re looking for an experienced professional that has a reputation for doing things right. Like many things in life, you need to be educated about what to expect, and, you should take your time before selecting a home inspector.

Your first stops are family, friend, and coworker recommendations, along with looking for a few inspectors on sites like the local Better Business Bureau. You can also search local court records to ensure the individuals on your list aren’t being sued by unhappy buyers and sellers. You should do what you can to choose a quality professional and here are some reasons why:

● You can’t expect the current owners to know everything. Let’s face it, the vast majority of home sellers are honest and aren’t trying to get away with something. Unfortunately for you and them, there’s just no way to know everything about a home’s condition.

● You don’t want to encounter unexpected expenses. This is a takeoff from the above bullet point. There are things which are obvious and things which are very subtle. The home inspection could well uncover a future problem, meaning, a system that’s under stress and will fail at some point.

● You don’t know what you don’t know and that’s dangerous. There are items in every house that look just fine and seem to function normally. These are the very items that blow-up out of nowhere. Put another way, you can’t expect the seller to disclose everything they know.

You won’t find yourself in a heartbreaking situation. If you don’t choose the right inspector, something could get missed and you only learn when it’s too late. On the flip side, you might have to walk away, even if you really love the home.
