Buying your dream home? The process is one of the most stressful you will ever experience. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure in addition to what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax, most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about, however, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories.

What Really Matters
1. Major Defects: An example of this would be structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defect. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure your home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Sellers - By making repairs and revealing the condition of the property to the prospective buyer you allow them to feel comfortable in their decision to purchase. A home inspection helps reduce the problems that may slow down or even put a halt to a sale.
Buyers - A home inspection allows you to be aware of the condition of all major systems of the home you wish to purchase. Once armed with the knowledge of the property's condition you can feel confident with whatever decision you make.
Agents - It has become a trend for real estate professionals to encourage and often require that a buyer invest in a home inspection prior to purchasing. It is also just as common that they suggest a pre-listing inspection to their seller-client.
