Getting an inspection can provide you with knowledge and power to make decisions about your investment. A good inspection can help avoid unplanned costs due to problems that aren't obvious to the untrained eye.
Pre-Purchase and Pre-Listing Inspections
Purchasing a home requires a huge investment, and an inspection can give you a realistic understanding of what you are buying. Having a trained eye to identify problems can give you the power to renegotiate price (to offset the cost of repairs) or have it fixed before you buy. An inspection can save you thousands.
Selling a home? A home inspection before listing can ensure a smooth transaction and avoid surprise "deal-breakers" or delays in the selling process.

Constructing a new home does mean it's brand-new, but new does not mean perfect. Each home is a product of human hands, and the standards of construction can vary widely.
