Getting a Home Inspection for Your Big Bear Home Purchase

Getting a Home Inspection for Your Big Bear Home Purchase? Yes, I think it is a very good idea. Having another person come in to look at the components of your (soon-to-be) home can uncover defects, leaks and sub-standard repairs.

Who to hire? That is 100% your decision, someone local is a good choice because Big Bear Homes have Stop and Drain Valves (also known as Stop and Waste Valves) that aid in winterizing your home.

One school of thought would be to hire an electrician, plumber, roofer, general contractor and anyone else with a specialty to each item of concern on the property. There are Home Inspectors who have been taking care of Big Bear Homes for a long time and some are general contractors, some are not. As an agent representing a buyer, I am always happy to give contact info. for a few different people to call and chose from. 

 Ask for references, qualifications and experience.
