The main purpose of a home inspection is to give buyers a clear understanding of the property’s condition before finalizing a purchase. During the inspection, a certified inspector:
- Identifies potential defects and safety hazards inside and outside the home
- Highlights repair and maintenance items that should be addressed before closing
- Prepares a professional inspection report, outlining the current state of the property
This report gives buyers the information they need to negotiate repairs, plan future maintenance, or make a confident purchase decision.
