"I scheduled an appointment through Home Adviser, and Lawrence contacted me within five minutes, and we discussed my needs. We agreed on a time and date that was convenient and a reasonable price for the work. He arrived as scheduled to my residence. Lawrence is very courteous and knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns and was not in a rush. Lawrence thoroughly inspected the area and offered a solution that fit my needs. He explained his findings and how he would complete a report within 24 hours. He sent my report early the next day. I would highly recommend Lawrence if you are looking for an experienced structural engineer who has excellent interpersonal skills and delivers on his promise."

"We had shingles, soffit, and drain pipes installed. I feel we were quoted a fair price. The workers were here exactly when scheduled. The work was well done. All areas were cleaned up when they left. I had a feature I wanted to repaint before I had it installed on my front porch. The workers came back when I called and did a terrifc job of reattaching the trellis."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Inspectors working for the seller on pre-listing inspections can present a conflict of interest, so standard home inspections are usually hired and paid for by the buyer. If the buyer has some negotiating power, they might request that the seller cover the cost (by taking it off the asking price), but this varies on a case-by-case basis. When it comes to home appraisal costs and pre-listing inspections, the seller will naturally have to pay, as these are done before the home is left up for sale.

It’s a good idea to be present for a home inspection so the inspector has access to anything they need for the inspection and so you can ask the home inspector questions if necessary. You don’t need to shadow the inspector while they’re conducting the inspection—in fact, it’s better if you don’t—but don’t go too far in case they need access to something or have any questions.

Using your realtor’s inspector may potentially speed up the home-buying process in that realtors are unlikely to recommend someone they’ve had prior difficulties with regarding scheduling or report turnaround time. There are other factors to consider, though—you don’t want a rushed inspection or a partial report. It’s more important that you work with a home inspector who can do a thorough assessment and explain any issues to you clearly.

A home inspection is always worth it when buying a home, as it can reveal major issues with a home that could cost you thousands of dollars post-closing. If it doesn’t uncover any issues, then you have some peace of mind that you won’t have to lay out tens of thousands of dollars in repairs after you close.

Whether or not you use your home inspection results to negotiate with a seller depends on how badly you want the property, what you’re willing to pay for repairs post-closing, and how strong the market is in your area. If a seller has other offers to consider, they may walk away from yours if you try to renegotiate based on your inspection results. Speak with your agent, who should attend the home inspection, about the best course of action, and consider how badly you want or need the property.
