Getting a Home Inspection/Appraisal

​

Once your offer is accepted on a home, you’ll have a few weeks to conduct a full home inspection and appraisal before closing on the house. Inspections are vital since they’ll determine any major damage to the home that needs repairs, while appraisals are important for mortgage approvals to confirm the house is worth the price.

 

We would recommend getting the home inspected before doing the appraisal based on the possibility that if the home has major issues you may not want to proceed with the purchase of the home and you would lose the money on the appraisal because you as the home buyer are responsible for the cost of the appraisal and inspections so if you  are not moving forward with the purchase there would be no need for the appraisal.
