Today I wanted to talk about the difference between an appraiser and a home inspector. The role of a real estate appraiser is to value the property for the bank before you get a loan. As a former appraiser, I can tell you that a state-certified appraisal is completely different from a broker market analysis.
The home inspector works for you. The inspection costs around $500 and lasts for about two hours. The inspector goes through the house top to bottom, looking for defects like structural damage, carbon monoxide leaks, electrical problems, or foundation issues, to name a few.

The home inspector works for you, so find a great one.
”
If you're buying a home, you don't want to cut corners and hire anything but the best home inspector that you can. Ask friends, family members, and, most importantly, your Realtor for recommendations. You don't want to buy a money pit!
If you need a recommendation for a great inspector or you have any questions at all about real estate, please don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
