A First Home Buyer was referred to me by her attorney as she was in the process of buying the family home from her mother’s estate. She’d lived in the house all her life, including the time she spent caring for her Mom. She didn’t think she needed a home inspection?
She finally heeded my advice only to discover that the old homestead had developed several physical limitations and safety issues over the years. It would cost $10,000 to make it safe and sound for her. Long story short, she and her 5 siblings agreed to reduce the price, she made the repairs and we were able to move forward with the purchase. Everyone was happy,
The Moral of This Story … Whether your are Buying your First Home, Moving Up to a Larger House or Downsizing, Always Get a Home Inspection done by a licensed inspector, no matter who is the seller!
