What is Home Inspector?

A home inspector is a trained professional who examines a property’s physical condition and systems and gives the buyer a written report of findings. They identify issues but do not make repairs or set value. Their report helps buyers decide whether to proceed, renegotiate, or request repairs.

Example: A home inspector flags an aging electrical panel and minor roof wear in the report, which the buyer uses to request repairs or a credit.
