A HOME INSPECTION BRINGS PEACE OF MIND   

      Once you have found the home you want and have made a successful offer to purchase, you will have an inspection contingency as part of the contract.  This is the Buyer's opportunity to completely inspect the home to become more familiar with its systems and its upkeep.  An experienced inspector will become your partner in this learning process.  The purpose of an inspection is not to find something wrong with the property but to educate the new Buyer and to determine if there are any safety or priority issues that need to be addressed before the closing.  

      A home contains six systems that should be inspected:  plumbing, electric, energy conservation, structural, heating and cooling, and venting.  In addition, the following items, if included with the house, should also be checked:  gas, irrigation water, well, and septic system.  A home may also be checked for the following that may be of concern to you:
