Episode #16: Home Inspection

by Bob Connors

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned pro, your home inspection is of critical importance.  It’s your main chance to verify the condition of the home, and to insure that you’re not buying a complete money-pit.  While the Denver and Boulder real estate market has its share of qualified home inspectors, many buyers simply take a friend’s recommendation, or their Realtor’s recommendation.  Check out ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) for a list of ASHI certified home inspectors in your area.  And if you are taking a referral from your agent then you might want to ask if this inspector has ever located an issue for a previous client which has killed the deal.  It’s important to know that you’re getting an inspector with your best interests in mind.  Ask the hard questions up front before you hire your next home inspector.  And it might be a good idea to ask to see a sample inspection report.  There’s nothing worse than paying $350.00 for a 3-page handwritten piece of junk report.  Email me at bob@realasave.com if you have any Denver/Boulder real estate questions.
