Q of the day: Who Pays for The Inspection?

Now that's a great question!

The buyer usually pays for a professional home inspection. However, on making an offer, some insist the seller pay. So it may end up as an item for negotiation.

Sometimes, sellers get their own home inspection before they put their homes on the market. That can reassure potential purchasers and provide the owner with a chance to fix issues ahead of the marketing of the property.

However, not all buyers are willing to accept a report paid for by the seller. In fact, experts recommend that buyers choose their own inspector.

Happy Sunday, Friends! 🌅 Here’s your gentle reminder: the journey to homeownership doesn’t have to be rushed. Each small step matters, and you’re moving closer every day. 🏡

Affirm: ‘I am worthy of the home I desire, and I am making progress every day.’

As we step into a new week, let’s set an intention to stay focused on our goals and let go of last week’s worries. 🌸

Double-𝐭𝐚𝐩 if you needed this reminder, and save this post to revisit when you need an extra push! 💛

It's a tough decision to make, but what's your favorite day of the holiday season, Christmas or Thanksgiving?

You are your most productive self when you have a clear mindset. Whether you take long walks, journal, or even read a book, self care is proven to be beneficial for the body. So be kind to your mind and take time for yourself.

Seeing my story in print is a little surreal. I'm honored to share a bit of my journey to becoming a home-buying educator in hopes that it resonates with someone navigating their own path. This article touches on my first steps, the challenges, and ultimately, my ‘why’ for helping others move toward homeownership. It’s never been just about me, but about those I get to serve, and all of us achieving dreams we didn’t think were possible. If you take a moment to read, I hope it inspires you as much as this journey has inspired me. 💛
