Home inspections are used to provide an opportunity for a buyer or Seller to identify any major issues with a property prior to closing. Your first clue that a home inspection is important is that it can be used as a contingency in your contract with the seller. The main purpose of a home inspection is to give you the information needed to make an informed decision on the purchase. Most home inspectors only put thir focus on the visible and major defects that will cost the buyer a lot of money above the purchase price to repair and  yet they miss the Cosmetic items and often times they are rarely reported, at My Real Estate Inspectors group we make sure to do a thorough inspection and to provide our customer with the details for their new investment.
