Home Inspections are Key
For most of us, a home is the most important purchase we will ever make.
But unlike most things we buy, there’s no money-back guarantee or return policy if you're not satisfied with your new home.

I always recommend that home buyers in the Minneapolis real estate market make the purchase of a home contingent on a home inspection.

Properly trained inspectors view a home as an interconnected system.

They look at how one component of the house might affect another, and conduct an in-depth inspection to assess the condition of the house and its systems.

They will determine which, if any, components are not performing properly, as well as items that are beyond their useful life or are unsafe.

They will also identify areas where repairs may be needed or where there may have been problems in the past.

A good home inspector is fair to both parties and explains what the expectations should be.

Items should be listed in a format showing what should be done in the future to protect the home and what should be taken care of prior to the purchase of the home.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of knowing what you are buying before you proceed with a home purchase.
