Adirondack Real Estate - What is a home inspection?

Earlier this year,  I became a real estate sales agent with Merrill L. Thomas Inc.  New York. *  

I hope to use my blog to discuss topics of importance to home and commercial real estate buyers as well as to share some free online resources.   One of these relates  to residential home inspections. 

Home Inspection: Many consider a home inspection to be essential.   https://www.nar.realtor/home-inspections

• A home inspection is a visual assessment of a home’s condition in which inspectors look for thousands of potential problems in areas of the home, including ceilings, walls, floors, windows, and doors.  Homebuyers may want to accompany the inspector as they do their work. Inspectors can show potential homeowners where certain plumbing or electrical details are located and help buyers understand the scope of a potential problem.

*There is an entire story connected to how I came to have the time to take the course and then the exams, and to have the good fortune to meet the folks of the Gillis Team, Merrill Thomas Tupper Lake, New York. 😇
