What Is Your Home Inspection Worth?

Despite the convincing argument of not skipping your home inspection, what is your home inspection report actually worth? We dive into the value of a home inspection and identify the difference between a good report and a soft report.

The difference between $100 and $100 value

I recently purchased a few different dollar bills. Once of which is a $100 bill. However, this bill is valued 4x face value because it has a reverse water mark. It may seem like a simple, almost unnoticeable difference. But that difference changes the value of the bill. In fact, if I hadn’t told you there was a difference you may never have noticed!

A good report vs. a soft report

A good home inspection report vs. a soft home inspection report may be hard to spot if you don’t know what to look for. A soft home inspection report can have 20 pictures on it and only 5 comments. It’s like a fake $100 bill. It looks full, but in reality, it’s pretty empty.

A good home inspection report is like the $100 bill with the reverse watermark. It may look only like a $100 bill, but it’s worth far more. Your inspection report should educate you about your home. A home inspection is to find any issues or concerns with your home, but it’s also more than that. Do you want to know the life left in your roof so you can be prepared to replace it when the time comes? Do you want to know the condition or your A/C or plumbing? These are all things you’ll learn about during your home inspection.

The value of your home inspection report is far more than its face-value. What is your home inspector providing you? What is your home inspection report providing for you.
