DIY INSPECTION VS PRO INSPECTION

Professional expertise

#1

Home inspectors are trained and certified to evaluate a wide range of systems and components in a home, and they have the experience and expertise to identify issues that a homeowner or buyer may not notice.

Objective evaluation

#2

A professional home inspector is an objective third party who has no emotional attachment to the home, which means they can provide an unbiased evaluation of the property.

Specialized Equipment

#3

Professional home inspectors have access to specialized equipment, such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, which can help detect issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Liability Protection

#4

If a buyer chooses to perform a DIY inspection and misses an issue with the home, they may be liable for the cost of repairs. However, a professional home inspector carries liability insurance to protect both the buyer and the seller in case of any issues that may arise.

Negotiation Power

#4

A professional home inspection report can provide valuable leverage in negotiating repairs or a lower purchase price with the seller.
