When should I schedule my inspection?
It’s best to schedule your home inspection as early as possible in the buying or selling process to allow time for any necessary repairs or negotiations.
Here are some common timing recommendations:
– For buyers: Ideally, schedule the inspection right after the seller accepts your offer, but before the due diligence period ends. This ensures you have time to review findings and negotiate any needed repairs.
– For sellers: Consider a pre-listing inspection to identify and address issues beforehand, making your home more appealing to buyers.
– For homeowners: Routine inspections every 3-5 years help catch maintenance issues early and keep your home in top shape.
