A: Can you tell me the results of my home inspection? B: Before I answer that, I want to make sure that you know what I was looking for. Are you clear on what I was looking for? A: I never had a home inspection before. B: I inspect the home for problems that might not be all that apparent in a quick walk-through. A: I asked the owners, and they said that everything was great with the house. B: The owners might not be aware of everything wrong with the house. Some things are hidden, but might still be a problem for you in the future. A: I heard that the owners must fix all of the problems before the escrow closes. B: I inform you of the problems. If there are major problems, you can decline to buy the house or they may wish to fix any problems. A: What kinds of things did you discover in my home inspection? B: I found some fairly major problems. A major support beam in the roof is broken, and the shower floor leaked and rotted out the second-floor joist.
