may have. Photos of your home and technical information pertaining

FAQs About Home Inspection:
Q. When should I request a Home Inspection?
A. As soon as possible after you become aware
that you want one is the time to call. Normally, this happens

contingency built into the offer allowing for a Home Inspection,
within a limited number of days. Call us as soon as possible.

Q. What should I do if the Home Inspector
finds a problem?
A. As much as we would like it to be, no
home is perfect. The Home Inspector may find defects which
you did not notice when you first viewed the home. Most such
defects can be readily cured or tolerated as is. Seldom would
one of the defects be reason not to purchase the home. You
should discuss any defect with the Home Inspector. Then you
should talk with your Real Estate professional. He or she
is trained to advise you on such matters.
