Home Inspections

Once you become ratified, it is time to do a few checks to ensure that the home you are buying is free of problems and defects. This is called the Inspections Stage, and with the help of your Realtor Specialist, you will decide which inspections are necessary in your particular case.  

Why do you Need a Home Inspection?

While the buyer is responsible for paying for the inspections, it is definitely worth the money. The Nellis Group will negotiate to make sure all the problems found in the inspection stage will be fixed by the sellers so that you don't end up moving into a new home and fixing things.

We always recommend a home inspection to protect your interests. The inspector will go through the house and accessible areas, both inside and outside, to check for safety issues. Inspectors will check for problems with the foundation, wiring, pipes, and appliances. A home inspection is NOT the same as an appraisal.

The Inspection Process

These are a few of the other inspections that you may end up wanting to run on the house. Inspection costs vary on a case by case basis, and the average costs are just an estimate. Every client is entitled to select their inspector for any inspection on the property. However, since any items missed become the responsibility of the client, the Nellis Group recommends that you utilize one of the inspectors that have worked with our clients in the past and have provided exceptional service.
