Whether you’re buying or selling or in your first year of ownership, an impartial third-party inspection could save you thousands of dollars. Knowing the condition of the property will ensure you are asking or offering fair market value, and will identify any issues prior to the purchase or sale of your home, helping to avoid any renegotiations once the sale is in process.
