17 Inexpensive Home Staging Tips

Why do I Need a Home Inspection?
Why, you ask, do I need to spend money for a home inspection?
Buying a home is the largest single investment most people ever make. What you can't see and don't notice can come back to cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
In North Carolina sellers must disclose material facts that they know are wrong with their home, however sometime issues remain hidden and it isn't until the home inspection is complete that they are uncovered. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape.
To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. Most good Home Inspectors are eager to share their knowledge and "school" you on the home you have under contract to purchase. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to finalize your decisions with confidence.
If you already are a homeowner, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly future repairs. It can make your home more salable when buyers know that you've been proactive in addressing any issues that may exist. The potential for surprise repairs is also minimized for the seller which is important when you consider that the price for the home has already been negotiated between the buyer and seller.
All buyers should have a home inspection and it can often be beneficial for sellers. If you would like to talk to a Home Inspector in the Triad contact National Property Inspections for more information. Mike Hunger is a trusted inspector which is just what you need when making a home investment decision.
