Are you planning to sell your house? Consider getting your house inspected before putting your house on the market. When a licensed home inspector conducts a house inspection, he will examine certain home components and then produce a detailed report covering their findings. A typical inspection lasts two to three hours, and you should be present for the inspection to get a firsthand explanation of the inspector’s findings and, if necessary, ask questions. The purpose of this initiative is to promote a greater level of trust from potential buyers who will have peace of mind knowing their investment isn’t going to fall on them next week when they take ownership.
