Home Inspection FAQ

Should I be present during the home inspection?

Yes, absolutely. Being present lets you ask the inspector questions in real time, see issues firsthand, and better understand the home's maintenance needs.

Can a home fail an inspection?

Home inspections do not result in pass/fail grades. Instead, the inspector documents the condition of all components. Buyers can then use the report to negotiate repairs, price reductions, or walk away from the purchase.
