What are home inspections all about?

A home inspection is a professional review of a list of concerns typically affecting homes, usually carried out before a home is listed for sale or as a condition of pre-purchase requirements by buyers. Home inspectors are trained and certified, experienced in noting areas that need attention or repair prior to a home changing ownership.

This allows potential buyers to avoid unknown, significant problems that can cause a considerably large expense, time, and other hardships when moving to a new residence.
