These days, especially in Arizona, the real estate market booming and some buyers may be tempted to skip getting a home inspection to try to stay competitive. While this may sound like a good idea at the time, there are a number of reasons why you should think twice.

Still asking if you really need a home inspection? The answer is…..Absolutely!

A home inspection is probably the least expensive investment you will make when purchasing a home. Prices vary depending on a number of factors, but you will likely spend less than 1% of the purchase price on a home inspection. This 1% could easily save you thousands, and more impertinently save you from purchasing a home that never lives up to your standards.

The small cost of a home inspection has the potential to save you thousands when it comes to repairs, or even worse catastrophic damage within the home.

At BuyWell Inspections, our home inspectors will do a comprehensive review and analysis of multiple systems and areas of the home. We will document the findings in an easy to read report, and do a walkthrough with you to make sure you are comfortable and looking forward to your purchase. We make sure to spend the time so that you can Buy Right and Live Well

If items do show up during the inspection that may be a cause for concern, or concession, it is important to have them documented by a licensed professional so they can be addressed with the seller. Even if you are not asking for any repairs, it is important that you identify the areas of concern so you can plan for these repairs in the future. While some are minor, there could potentially be catastrophic damage (such as fire, decay, mold, etc.) that would cost thousands to repair.
