A: While it is not necessary for you to be present, we highly encourage you to join the inspector for at least a portion of the time.

Q: What if the report reveals problems?
A: No house is perfect. When the inspector identifies problems, it does not indicate you should not buy the house. His findings serve to educate you in advance of the purchase about the condition of the property. A seller may adjust the purchase price or contract terms if major problems are discovered during an inspection. If your budget is tight, or if you do not want to be involved in future repair work, this information will be extremely valuable.
