The home inspection is one of the most crucial parts of the home buying process. The foundation of a home is often a major concern for home buyers. Offers are finalized, negotiated or revoked as a result of a home inspection report and sometimes due to foundation conditions. By understanding what home inspectors will be looking at in regards to foundations the agent can better explain to clients the situations and potential solutions and recognize when repairs have been done.
