Whether you are purchasing a home in “as is” condition for cash or financing, a Home Inspection will be money well spent! Most lenders will require it.

A Home Inspection will help you to understand what items need repair, replacement, updating or maintenance.
It may also help you to negotiate a lower purchase price if the items in need of repair are costly.
