So today was the home inspection set up by the buyer. For those who aren't familiar with what a home inspector does, they are basically hired to do an independent "inspection" on the property/house to make sure that the buyer doesn't overlook anything and is getting what they are paying for. They basically go over the property with a fine tooth comb and look at everything...foundation, structures, roof, plumbing, electrical, mechanical...
For the new house, I will be on the flip side of things where I would want someone to come make sure the builder didn't overlook anything and that everything is being done correctly. The inspection started at 9am and ended at 12:30pm. The inspector, the buyer, and the buyer's agent were all there. Naturally, none of us could be there. That way they can talk about everything they like and don't like and make the list of everything they think is a problem and will need to be fixed. The jury is still out but hopefully, the list won't be long at all. There is a misconception that everything the buyer wants fixed will get fixed. Contractually, the buyer and seller are to come to an agreement about what will get fixed before closing. Both parties must come to an agreement. We'll see. I will post the findings as soon as I get the list.
