When Should You Get A Home Inspection? Always!
May 18, 2009 by Kristin LaVanway · Leave a Comment
| A professional home inspector should be one of the first people you call when your offer to purchase a home has been accepted. A home inspector will go over your home with a fine tooth comb and provide a detailed report on the condition of the home. He will check the condition of your roof, your AC unit, your electrical and plumbing systems. Your inspector will check for structural problems, and code violations. Some inspectors even do thermal imaging scans to check for hot spots or leaks that may indicate major problems with the home. |
In our Arizona contract, you are entitled to a 10-day period to conduct any inspections you deem necessary. If something comes up during the inspection that is unacceptable to you, and you can cancel the contract and have your earnest money deposit returned. You can also ask the Seller to remedy the problem prior to COE as an alternative. This 10-day inspection period is your opportunity for due diligence, so check out everything that is important to you. Use the AZRDE Buyer’s Advisory as a resource.

I am a Realtor in Gilbert, AZ, working with clients throughout the Phoenix Metro area. I am lucky to love what I do and appreciate the difference I can make in people's lives.
In a previous life, I was a rocket scientist - really! - but decided to step away from corporate America to be a Mom to my four boys. Found it hard to do bake sales, so I ran a small independent programming business instead.
Flash forward...I am now a single mom and I face many, many challenges everyday. I am living through the hardships that many are facing in this economy. These experiences have motivated me to help other people in my shoes.
I have teamed up with Dean Ouellette to form the East Valley Team - the best darn team in the Valley. Check out our site at http://www.EastValleyTeam.com. I spend way too much time on YouTube - check ou tmy channel at http://www.youtube.com/klavanway
