After months of searching, you've finally found your dream home! But before you can close the deal, you have to do a dreaded home inspection. What if the inspector finds major problems that scuttle the deal? How will you know if the issues are serious enough to make you reconsider, or if you can handle them?
The good news is that the home inspection process doesn't HAVE to be scary. In this episode, Lance talks with Richard Hull, a professional home inspector and owner of a Bloomington-area Pillar to Post home inspection business. Lance and Richard break down how home inspectors do their thing, what they're looking for, how to parse and understand a home inspection report, and how sellers can do a pre-inspection to prepare their homes to go on the market.
