Importance of a home inspection

Yesterday, Steve Rosen wrote a column in The Kansas City Star that read, in part, "Get the house inspected by someone who comes highly recommended. It could be an inspector recommended by your real estate agent, but not necessarily. Even if the inspection costs several hundred dollars, it will be money well spent. The inspector can help you understand what's a big deal and what's not. And if it's a big deal that the seller won't fix, don't move another step toward closing." He was writing about "How first-time homebuyers can avoid a money pit". Here's his entire column - http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/personal-finance/article64501887.html

Sometimes, real estate agents are reluctant to recommend or prohibited from recommending home inspectors. Other times, your realtor might say that you should get the property inspected and you should have it done by Miki Mertz at Complete Home Inspection. One realtor recently got around it all by saying that she wasn't allowed to give specific recommendations for choosing a home inspector, but when her own son was having an inspection done, her son would be having me do the inspection. That convinced my client to hire me. He felt it was high praise for his agent to use me for her own son.

Your Complete Home Inspection tells you the condition of the property at the time of the inspection. That way you'll know what you're getting in to, whether it's a "money pit" or if things are in pretty good shape. Either way, it's money well-spent. Add a radon test to your inspection, and get peace of mind knowing that the house doesn't have a radon problem or that the radon gas has been mitigated and your family will be safe.
