Home Inspections. How Sellers and Buyer should Prepare

Andy Schildhorn • October 27, 2023
Home inspections are back and crucial. In my years of experience, I've seen how a home inspection can be a real game-changer. In our previous hot market with all-cash offers, home inspections were not considered. Now in our balanced market, we are seeing them again. They can inform buyers and protect sellers from unforeseen issues.
 
Remember, a home inspection isn't just a checkbox—it's your future peace of mind. For more expert advice on home buying or selling, call me at 778.835.8957
