The Ten Biggest Mistakes in Home Buying
By David Weekley
#6 If buying a resale, not having the home properly inspected
“I can’t emphasize this one enough. When you find your dream home, it’s love at first sight. As with all love affairs, you begin to lose your objectivity and see only what you want to see.”
“They’re called structural and mechanical inspectors. Good ones are worth every penny you pay them. A good one is licensed by the state (ask to see his or her certificate) and has no personal relationship with you, the seller, or the Realtor. This is someone you pay for a professional, unbiased opinion about the structural integrity and mechanical performance of the home you are planning to buy.”
“As much as it may hurt to hear something negative about the one you love, this is when you want all the ugly truth.”
Buying a new home will be the biggest investment you will ever make. Although the process is very exciting it can quickly become overwhelming. While the home you have selected may appear to be just what you are looking for, how can you be sure there are not potentially serious undetected defects which can make your investment in the future a costly one?
