Purchasing a new home?

By: Cindy Nexon

One of the most important decisions when buying a home is to have a home inspection.  Too often, buyers don’t want to spend the extra money for an inspection, particularly in new construction.  This three to five hundred dollar (generally) expense, is the best money you can spend when investing in any new home.  Sellers are not always aware of any defects, or safety issues in their own home, so by bringing in a third party, you can insure a neutral eye on the property.  I just sold a client of mine a condominium that was new construction.  It was the second escrow for her as the first property on which she wrote an offer had some defects in the construction.  We brought in our inspector who looked over the property and while he deemed it safe, he felt that there were some issues and some shoddy workmanship.  My buyer wisely cancelled the deal and we moved on.  The next property was also new construction, and although the listing agent thought she was wasting her money bringing in an inspector, my client, knowing the value of that inspector, hired him once again to inspect the second property.  That property had superior workmanship and we successfully closed the escrow with peace of mind about her investment.
