Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of
mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short
time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs and what the inspector himself says
during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself
makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor
imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four
categories:
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected
inexpensively to protect both life and property.
Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection.
Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair anything mentioned in the report. No building is
perfect. Keep things in perspective. Pretty much anything can be fixed. Do not kill your deal over
things that do not matter. It is unrealistic to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance,
conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure or nit-picky items.

categories:
- Major defects. An example of this would be a foundation problem.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Safety hazards, such as exposed wiring or unsafe steps.
