Tips To Crush Your Home Inspection...
Take notes.
Leave the kids and extended family at home.
Walk the neighborhood.
Find an excuse to get inside the home when it is raining (good time to look around for leaks).
Do the commute during rush hour.
If you are not familiar with local the infrastructure (water wells, septic systems, oil / propane heat) then now is a good time to acquaint yourself.
Ask questions.
This is a good time to bring in other professionals as needed – painters, remodelers, etc.
Stay focused during the inspection. Try to reschedule zoom calls, conference calls, etc.
Assume you are being watched or listened to by the sellers during the inspection (looking at you Alexa).
Buying a house that is supplied by a water well? Have the water tested and the well evaluated by a well contractor.
Order a WDI (wood destroying insect) inspection to check for termites and ants and any damage they may have caused.
