I am amazed at how many of my clients ask why they need a home inspection when it comes to them buying a home.  Most of them ask not because of ignorance but because they look at it as a cost saving measure (inspections in Oklahoma typically run between $225 - $300)  I can not stress enough that this is not the place that you want to shave your budget.

Although a home may look in perfect working order when we walk through it there are many, many items that we might not see that could become a potential hazard after you already own the home.  A licensed home inspector is trained to test and examine everything in your home from the plumbing all the way to the roof.  At the end of their inspection (typically 2 hours) they will hand you and your REALTOR a copy of their findings.  Now, if your REALTOR has set a limit on the inspection repair findings, your REALTORS next move is to have qualified workman come in and complete this work before you move into the home.

An inspection is not something to take lightly.  It can be the difference between home ownership bliss and dread.
