You won't know what you are getting yourself into unless you hire a professional t
o check out your new home. Make sure there are no hidden costs for repairs you may be buying in addition to your house.
There's a great website to find home inspectors in any area. They are members of the American Society of Home Inspectors, which is a non-profit professional organization that follows an oath of Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for inspectors.
Go to http://www.ashi.org or visit my website www.StaceyMcCarthy.com for a link to their site.
We just had one of our buyers have a home inspection on a new construction property, where even then, a lot of issues came up with the house. Sometimes buyers think that with a new construction property, they might not need an inspection.
