Home Inspection
Seattle Real Estate | Gerhard Ade

Every home inspection reveals a surprise or two or many more.

The home inspection is part of almost every purchase and sale agreement. In a hot sellers’ market, some buyers forgo the inspection to make their offers more attractive. It’s a risky move in most instances and should only be used as a tool of last resort.

Home inspection is a broad topic. Today, I will concentrate on the general inspection and touch briefly on special inspections. The discussion of pre-inspection and seller inspection will have to wait for another day. I’ve written about inspections in my May 2011 newsletter. Perhaps it was the catchy title: Oh Rats, I didn’t know that.
