Absolutely! I remind my clients that the county inspector is not representing them and is only looking for certain code items. I would say that 9 out of 10 clients take my advice and have a pre-drywall inspection and then a final inspection once we are ready for our walk-through.

Pay for the inspection and get some peace of mind. In the past we have uncovered problems code inspectors missed.

Michael Thornton Having worked for a national production builder many years ago and having built many homes as a contractor, I always recommend my buyers have a licensed home inspection prior to closing their new home purchase. And on every occasion, issues are identified!

I worked for builders for 20 years. I tell all my customers to get an inspection. Most builder will short cut something.

I sell many new homes, and suggest the buyers do the inspection at 10 1/2 months, so they have a list for the 12 month warranty for the builder.

I haven't in the past but it does seem like a good idea. Another good idea is to bomb the house with bug bombs before moving in just to get rid of all those little critters who have moved in from their place of origin.

I always recomend an insoection for new contstruction but by an inspector experienced with new homes. Often ther6e are items found, the city inspectors do not always inspect but glance.

I highly encourage them to have new construction inspections. Actually 2 to 3 inspections would be ideal.

Michael Thornton - well, I have a buyer buying new construction now and already have scheduled the home inspection before closing!
This is one item there should be no compromise.

Though buyers of new construction homes are typically given walk through inspections prior to close, even the most meticulous, construction savvy buyer can and will miss even simple things, like outlets that don't work or even a switched hot and cold handle. But more importantly, it is crucial that a buyer engage a licensed non-biased inspector, if not for peace of mind, then simply to catch the fact that the attic has no light....that's what happened to me! Ditto to Nina Hollander's comment too!

I would tell them to get one. Builders leave things undone, at times, whether or not the home has passed codes on electrical, plumbing, etc. An inspector will find incomplete or shoddy workmanship that can be questioned. New homes can have problems too.

Absolutely. Some builders take offense, but too many times things are missed and better an inspector do the punch list than the buyer.

we are listing agents so we do not guide the buyers on that topic....if we were buyer agents, they would have an inspection....
