A home inspection report gives home buyers great power during the home purchasing process. With an inspection report, a property buyer has a key tool to choose whether to move forward with a home purchase or rescind a homebuying proposal.

A home inspection is conducted by a property expert

A home inspector is a professional who performs a deep evaluation of a house, so for homebuyers, it’s beneficial to search for a top-rated home inspector. An expert will be able to provide an in-depth report, outlining a house's strengths and weaknesses. A homebuyer then can utilize the inspection report to make an informed decision about how to proceed with the purchase of the home.

Assess all aspects of a property

During this evaluation, a home inspector examines a home's structure, heating, cooling systems and many other aspects of the property. This detailed examination allows an inspector to find any underlying issues with the home if there are any.

A home inspecting is a great opportunity for a homebuyer to ask questions and learn more about the property. This plays a huge role in helping you to make the best possible decision on whether the home is right for you.

Offers insights that property buyers may struggle to obtain elsewhere

A home inspection report can give a buyer more insights into the wellbeing of a property than just visits alone. A house inspection also enables a homebuyer to examine a residence with a property expert who can identify issues not easily noticeable to those untrained in the profession.

Hiring a real estate agent is a great way to jumpstart your homebuying journey. This housing market professional can guide you along the homebuying journey and when you need a home inspector, your agent can help connect you with great professionals within your city.

Collaborating with your agent and home inspector, you can choose the best course of action relative to a home purchase.

I'm a full time Realtor with over 30 years of experience yet young enough to embrace today's ever-changing scope of marketing and technology. Having grown up in Connecticut and moved many times (too many to count!) I can empathize with today's buyers and sellers. Strictly maintaining ethical standards and being a fierce advocate on behalf of my clients are things I take very seriously. As a buyer, you can expect me to listen to and evaluate your real estate wants and needs. I can assist in explaining relevant forms, agreements, and closing procedures. I will guide you through the process of finding the right home, negotiating your offer, adhering to all contract dates and terms as well as final walk through and closing procedures. As a seller, I will listen to and evaluate your goals, needs, and timing in order to properly price your home to get the maximum exposure needed to attract the right buyers. In addition to negotiating on your behalf, I will make sure we communicate throughout the entire process as we navigate the contract terms, finance and inspection contingencies, as well as all closing procedures. I was born in Japan, grew up in Hamden and lived in New York, Ohio and Southern California before settling down in New Haven county to raise two kids, two dogs and a cat. I'm passionate about good food and love to bake. Some of my free time has been spent volunteering at Temple Beth Sholom, a synagogue where my family has been members for over 40 years. I also spend time at Tower One/Tower East, an assisted living center in New Haven where my mother-in-law now resides. 30 years of helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals has given me the peace of mind to know that what I do everyday matters. If you are thinking of buying or selling please keep me in mind.
