Key Takeaways

✔ A home inspection is not a pass/fail event.

✔ Inspectors work for whoever hires them — buyer OR seller.

✔ Most issues in a home can be fixed — the question is: should you?

✔ Pre-listing inspections build trust, transparency, and smoother closings.

✔ Every buyer MUST understand what’s “normal,” what’s “big,” and what’s “deal-breaking.”
