Quick Tips from Matthew:

Home inspections are a highly debated topic among Real Estate Agents. Inspections are intended to find hidden defects in the home. Items that would effect the buyer’s decision to purchase the home. I see home inspections as a tremendous advantage. We have seen buyers who are fair with the seller get much better deals than otherwise. We have also seen sellers who are prepared for the inspections get top dollar, and quick closings.
