Do you need to have your home inspected by a licensed inspector? This is a common question we get when working with clients here in Lansing, so today we thought we would venture an answer!

We've sold thousands of homes and, over the years, we have found that it's critical to have a reputable home inspector do the job. Over the years, we've worked with many home inspectors, and we now have a few that we turn to for each transaction because they have proven to be the best.

Recently, we found a home that was fantastic for the price. Since it seemed to be too good to be true, we called out an inspector we often work with to take a look at the property. After going through everything, from the electrical to the plumbing, the inspector found that the home would need $20K-$25K in repairs! Thanks to the inspection, it was now clear that this home that seemed like a good deal was actually a money pit! 


 

We can't stress how important it is to have a good home inspector check out your home! If you want to avoid buying a risky property, you need to have an inspection done - it's more than worth the money you'll save down the road. If you have questions about the process, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!
