After submitting a few (or a few dozen) offers, you’ve finally had a seller accept your offer on your dream home... now it's time for the home inspection!
A home inspection gives you a pretty good snapshot of the home's condition. A professional inspector will walk through the home and examine everything from the physical structure to the major systems of the house, and everything in between.
It's important to remember that EVERY home will have issues that come up during the inspection — there is no such thing as a "perfect" house, even if it's new. Additionally, a home inspection is not guaranteed to catch every issue with the home — you can't open walls or see under floors.
But what if the inspection comes back with big-ticket items that need repair? Swipe → to learn about a few options you have if this happens.
Navigating repairs after a home inspection might seem daunting, but with the right approach and the right guidance, you'll be better prepared to tackle anything that may arise. It's important to remember that with any inspection, you will have to weigh how much risk, investment, and seller negotiation you’re comfortable with for a house you love.
