Home Inspections with New Construction

Even if the home is new construction, I always recommend to my clients that they contact a home inspector to do a pre-close inspection. Some would think that this is a foolish waste of about $300, but I certainly do not! A $300 home inspection can save the home buyer $1000s of dollars, not to mention headaches, in the long run!
I know a few real estate agents that would balk at having a home inspection on new construction. So, let me give you a little background and then some real life examples on why I recommend home inspections on new construction to my clients.

In my numerous years of inspecting new construction.... Contractors are only as good as their subcontractors meaning their framers, electricians, heating contractors, plumbers, etc. And you would be amazed how many defects can be found in new construction... As a City Building Inspector and as an owner of my own private home inspection company, American Dream Home Inspection, http://www.americandreamhomeinspection.net located in Southern California defects are found all the time! Buyer beware is the best advice an Agent can give to a client, and referring a good inspector is the best alternative to manage risk.
