Should You Get a Home Inspection?

home-inspectionAlmost everyone that is buying a property ask themselves this question, and many can’t seem to have a strong decision…  Well, I’m here to clear that up!

I’m a huge fan of analogies and if I could give you an analogy of getting a home inspection, here is my best one..  So you are in the market to buy a car… let’s say it’s a 2009 model, not too old, not too new and you find a private seller and the car looks great, feels great, drives great and the owner gives you a carfax report of the vehicle and it’s history…   Wouldn’t it make all the sense in the world to pay a mechanic $50-$100 to open the hood and check all of the wires, compression, valves, any leaks, squeaks, dents, seals, brake pads, hoses, etc…?  To me, it would seem like a no brainer and it goes the same for a home inspection.

A home inspector will check for plumbing leaks, electrical outlets, proper insulation, water intrusion, mold, wiring, cracks, heating, cooling, attic, roof in many cases, among many other necessary functions of a home.  Trust me, it is well worth paying $350-$400 for a home inspection when you are making a purchase of $200,000-$600,000 in a property (San Diego median home prices), but it is so worth having the peace of mind and knowing that a certified professional inspector has looked over the entire property.

In addition, you will receive a certified inspection report that you can utilize to ask for seller repairs or credit if anything is found that needs repair or replacement.  In summary, you are making a huge purchase, whether for a home for your family or an investment to rent out or flip and a home inspection is worth every penny!!
