Planning to buy or sell a home? A home inspection is a big part of the process! Whether it's a brand-new house or one you've lived in for years, making sure everything is in good shape can save you from surprises down the road.

For buyers, even new homes can have hidden issues - so an inspection helps catch things like wiring or plumbing problems. And for sellers, getting a pre-sale inspection can give you the chance to fix any small issues before buyers even see them.

The good news is, a little prep can go a long way! Tidy up areas like the attic or basement, and handle minor repairs like leaky faucets or burned-out bulbs. It’ll make the inspection smoother and give you peace of mind.
