Buying a House: The Truth About Seller's Inspections
00:00:00.000 | - And what do you guys think about inspections
00:00:02.000 | when the seller's already done the inspections
00:00:04.240 | and they're in the disclosures?
00:00:05.480 | Do you still recommend people go do them themselves also?
00:00:08.120 | - Usually not.
00:00:09.040 | The fear is, well, that's the seller's inspector.
00:00:11.760 | But the inspectors themselves are licensed professionals
00:00:14.620 | that don't really care who the seller is, who the buyer is.
00:00:17.200 | They just wanna make sure they don't miss anything
00:00:18.560 | so they don't get sued.
00:00:19.960 | So what I tell my clients when you're getting inspections
00:00:22.140 | someone else has done, is call the home inspector
00:00:24.640 | and ask them, like, you can actually do that,
00:00:26.920 | especially if you're the one who pays for the inspection.
00:00:28.800 | But even if you're not, hey, I see in your inspection
00:00:31.480 | line 9C2 shows this.
00:00:34.600 | Is that something I should be worried about?
00:00:36.280 | You get great information from home inspectors.
00:00:38.800 | They give you the context that's often missing,
00:00:40.740 | especially 'cause when you're first buying a house,
00:00:42.880 | or even if you've owned a lot of houses,
00:00:44.160 | we don't know what a lot of that stuff means.
00:00:46.800 | You see a report and it lists something,
00:00:48.360 | you're like, well, is that a bad thing or not a bad thing?
