Buying a home?  The process can be stressful.  

A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect.  You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short period of time.  This includes a written report, photos of defects, and what the inspector tells you during the inspection.  All of this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes this experience more overwhelming.

What should you do?

Relax.  Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies, and minor imperfections.

The issues that really matter will fall into four categories:

• Major Defects.  An example would be structural failure.
• Things that lead to major defects.  Small leaks can become serious water damage.
• Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.
• Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electrical panel.
