Can anyone perform a home inspection ?

Why should I have the home inspected ?

How do I request a home inspection, and who will pay for it ?

Should I be present when the home inspection is performed ?

Are all inspection reports the same ?

What should I do if I feel something has been missed on the inspection ?

If, following the home inspection, the seller repairs an item found in the home inspection, may I have the Home Inspector perform a “re-inspection” ?

In my home purchase I have chosen to sign the standard Offer to Purchase and Contract form which many real estate and legal professionals use. It states that I have the right to have the home inspected and the right to request that the seller repair identified problems with the home.
