Why a Home Inspector Can be a Homeowner’s Best Friend
By Diane Tait If you’ve ever bought or sold a home, you’re familiar with a home inspector. He or she is the person who climbed onto your roof, into your attic, through your home’s crawlspaces and even perhaps under your home before the sale was complete and the mortgage lender was satisfied with the property. In short, a home inspector is there to check out your home from top to bottom. While some homeowners fear the inspector will shoot down a sale or cost them money to repair or replace items that would otherwise have been the responsibility of the new owners, what many fail to realize is that a home inspector can sometimes save them time & money.
