Above all, most buyers find it difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the building they really want, and this may lead to a poor assessment. This is one of the reasons I trained as a professional home inspector. It is not necessary for you to be present for the inspection, but it is a good idea and Blue Ribbon Home Inspection would ask for you to be present. By following the inspector through the inspection, observing and asking questions, you will learn more of the building and get some tips on general maintenance. Information that will be of great help to you after you have moved in.
Construction is both complicated and ever changing.
Each year, new techniques are developed, new safety standards are applied, and new materials are included. The person in whom you have placed your trust and confidence should be versed in all of these areas. Blue Ribbon Home Inspection maintains a high standard of knowledge and education, and is constantly increasing his knowledge at every opportunity. The ability to communicate all of this information to you, the home-buyer, in understandable terms is essential. However, the cost should not be a factor in the decision whether or not to have a physical inspection.
