In this episode, Mark Liesner & Bess Dickson break down the exact things you should look for during your home walk-through and how to read your inspection report without getting overwhelmed.
We cover the four main sections of every inspection report:
• Structural Systems (foundation, roof, drainage)
• Electrical & Plumbing (safety + functionality)
• HVAC (comfort + long-term cost)
• Summary Page (major findings all in one place)
You’ll also learn how to review the report through four helpful lenses: safety hazards, major systems, preventive maintenance, and normal cosmetic wear.
We equip you with:
✔ How to separate wear & tear from true deal breakers
✔ What to negotiate
✔ How to avoid future surprise expenses
✔ The one thing most buyers overlook: the roof
✔ When to ask questions and who to ask (your inspector + Realtor)
Whether you’re buying your first home or your next home, this episode gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.
