Home Inspections and Property Checklist

Your Realtor® is taking you to view homes for sale - how do you compare them in order to make the right decision for the right house?

We've made that comparison a little easier for you with a Property Checklist:

• Complete the checklist for each home you tour to quickly compare the features of each home.

• Consider neighborhood influences; location of schools, busy streets, industrial or commercial developments, and condition of other homes in the immediate area.

• Hire a professional to conduct a property inspection once you have narrowed down your selection to one home.

A Home Inspection gives you more detailed information about the overall condition of the home. A qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential new home to:

• Evaluate the physical condition, structure, construction, and mechanical systems

• Identify items that need to be repaired or replaced

• Estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure, and finishes
