Do I Need a Home Inspection?
Most
homebuyers lack the knowledge and skill to properly conduct home inspections.
State licensed home Inspectors typically evaluate structural components (floors,
walls, roofs, chimneys, foundations, etc.) mechanical systems (plumbing,
electrical, heating/air conditioning, installed appliances) and other major
components of the property.

Do I Need a Home Warranty?
Home
warranties provide both buyer and seller protection against unexpected breakdown
and repair due to normal wear and tear. The Service Agreement does not cover
everything and a buyer/seller should carefully read what protection is offered
by the Home Warranty Provider. Sellers sometime offer Home Warranties to
provide competitive advantage over homes without a warranty.
