Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge, training, and expertise of a professional home inspector who has seen thousands of homes with all types of issues and unique problems. An inspector is experienced not only with the operation of the many systems of the home and how they are maintained, but also with the red flags that indicate potential failure. Above all, most buyers find it very difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the home they purchasing, and this may affect their judgment. For the more accurate and complete information, it is best to obtain an unbiased third-party opinion by an expert in the field of home inspection.
