In this episode of "Buy The Bay," Dan Ancheta interviews Todd Graham, a home inspector, about the importance of home inspections, especially for new construction homes. Todd explains the benefits of getting an 11-month inspection, which allows homeowners to address any issues covered by their one-year warranty before it expires. He also stresses the importance of communication between the inspector and the homeowner, especially for first-time homebuyers who may be unfamiliar with the inspection process.
The conversation also covers the risks of buying a newly constructed home, including the potential for unscrupulous contractors during the rebuilding process. Todd emphasizes the importance of hiring a qualified professional for inspections rather than relying on friends or family members who may not have the necessary expertise.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the home inspection process and learn how to make informed decisions when buying or selling a home.
