Managing the Home Inspection (3.0 CE Disclosure)

Managing the Home Inspection

Presented Bill Denhard, AJF Inspections

The home inspection is one of the most crucial parts of the home buying process. Offers are finalized or revoked as a result of a home inspector’s report. A home inspection can be a source of anxiety for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents. However, real estate agents can ease some of their clients’ anxieties by helping them to be better educated and prepared for the home inspection process. A good home inspection should be thorough so that all parties have confidence when completing the home buying process.

• Explain the elements and characteristics of a home inspection
• Discuss strategies for preparing both the seller and the buyer for the home inspection
• List the steps to take when preparing a home for the inspection
