What’s the Difference Between Home Inspections & Appraisals (Episode 3) S1 E3

Home inspection is part of due diligence, and it gives the buyer a report detailing any issues with the home. Home appraisal is part of financing and appraisal, and it gives the lender a report about the home’s relative value.

We address all these questions: Why do buyers love inspections? Why do sellers not appreciate inspections as much? Should you have an inspection on new construction? When you get that fat inspection report, what you should pay attention to? What’s a material fact, and why do you care? When should you do the inspection? When do you get the appraisal report? What’s the process for getting a home appraised? What’s a “desktop” appraisal?

Find out how to separate the garbage from the gold in a home inspection report. Focus on Safety and Structure (these are material facts), and use them in your negotiation. Finally, use the appraisal to make sure the value is there.

*No inspectors (or appraisers) were harmed in the filming of this real estate discussion.
