THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT I RECIEVE. I HOPE THEY ARE HELPFUL IN ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT (256) 782-0254 OR EMAIL ME AT ALLENR8@AOL.COM. THANKS RANDY ALLEN.

HOW MUCH DOES AN HOME INSPECTION COST?

• TYPICALLY AN INSPECTION COST BETWEEN $200-$425, DEPENDING ON SIZE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE HOUSE.

HOW LONG DOES THE INSPECTION LAST AND DO I HAVE TO BE THERE?

• INSPECTIONS NORMALLY TAKE ABOUT 2-1/2 HOURS, BUT LARGER AND MORE COMPLEX HOUSES CAN TAKE LONGER.
• NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THERE FOR THE INSPECTION, BUT I DO RECOMMEND IT, SO I CAN GO OVER THE INSPECTION WITH YOU AND YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN APPRAISAL AND A HOME INSPECTION?

• AN APPRAISAL IS AN ESTIMATION OF THE VALUE OF THE HOME SO THE BANK WILL KNOW HOW MUCH TO LOAN.
• A HOME INSPECTION IS A VALUABLE TOOL FOR A CONSUMER TO DECIDE WHAT THE HOUSE IS WORTH TO THEM, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT OR IF ANY PROBLEMS THERE MAY BE WITH THE HOUSE
