March 7, 2015. Ridgelandm MS. Home Inspections.

He went around for almost 4 hours, poking and prodding our new home. And he did it all by himself. We were invited for the last hour, which consisted of the summary. In three hours, he sent us via e mail the complete report. It was all very efficient. The owner of our home moved into a new home in 1986 and loved it. But they did nothing to change anything, so the home inspector found lots and lots of deferred maintenance. The home was well built and in generally good condition but when he listed the items needing repair it took two full pages requiring maintenance. Much to our surprise, the seller has agreed to make every repair. And the work will be done by the original builder. Of course, the seller has no real choice because once she knows what is the matter she must disclose to any future buyer. But we are pleased. As Ken pointed out, everything is superficial but we are pleased the home inspector poked and prodded because we would never have found those bits of rotted wood. Once again, we are grateful for home inspectors.
