Benefits of Early Home Inspections

1. Repairs

Taking the time to conduct a home inspection could reveal repair issues. It's better to arrange the examination before listing the property.

3. Requirements

Sellers in most states are obligated to let potential buyers know about any property defects. Failure to do so could result in stiff and costly penalties and lawsuits. Even if a seller conducts a professional home inspection and chooses not to make all the repairs, they may still be required to let buyers know.
