Why Should I Get A Home Inspection On A New House? As a Realtor I regularly get asked the question; Why Should I Get A Home Inspection On A New House?  In general most buyers see the need for a home inspection when buying an existing home, but many others purchasing new construction feel it's a waste of time and money to hire a home inspector especially since many builders offer 2-10 warranties and the builder will also do a pre-closing punch list walk through for any visible defects....so why have new construction inspected?   Visible defects yes you and your builder can pick those usually, but from personal experience I will tell you that a home inspector is going to find things that a formal walk through with the builder will not reveal...things that aren't visible.  A home inspector... 03/15/2013

Back Up Offer?  What Is That? As a potential home buyer, you may have started to wonder how and when you are going to find your home... your perfect home.

Or perhaps you've adjusted your mindset and determined that you don't need "everything" on your want/need list for your new home. Maybe you've even gotten to the point where you are just grateful to have at least found a home that is for sale. In areas with tight inventory, you may be having a hard time finding your home and, as such, you may be considering writing a backup offer for the home(s) you are considering.
