The importance of the home inspection and the final walk-through

It's in every buyer's best interest to get a home inspection before closing on a house.

In a recent report, crowd-sourced business review website Angie's List revealed the importance of conducting a home inspection and doing a final walk-through before closing on a home. Buying a property is a huge financial commitment, and taking the time to complete these final steps can save you a lot of money and stress in the longrun. 

According to Illinois news outlet ABC9 News, the home inspection is crucial because it often uncovers potentially costly issues with the property that aren't visible to the untrained eye. While you don't have to be present for the home inspection, it's in your best interest to be there so you can learn more about the house you're thinking about purchasing. 

Then, after the home inspection has been conducted, the last step is to schedule a final walk-through with your Sacramento real estate agent. 

"A final walk-through of the house you are buying might seem really simple but a lot of times is overlooked," one real estate specialist told the source. "It's important because you can then double check anything you ask for in your contract has been completed and also you can find out if there was any damage to the house when the seller moved out. It doesn't take a lot of time and it's [a] really simple [thing] that can save you some headaches."
