One of the things in the home inspection industry that still baffles me though, is why we don't do the home inspection FIRST? We go through all of this trouble to buy a home, and then all of a sudden we have a home inspection and everything goes back to the drawing board. The buyers are surprised (as well as the sellers), the agents scramble to fix things, and the mortgagor starts taking a more critical look at things. So consider getting a pre-listing home inspection to help remove some of the stress of a real estate transaction.
Also, please enjoy this month's home inspection photo below. It's moisture intrusion into the heating unit from the flue. With snow on it's way, make sure this doesn't happen to you...
