    I’m honestly shocked because my mom worked for a real estate office when I was a kid and my cousin is my realtor now and I’ve never even heard of doing an inspection before an offer was accepted. Tour slots are half an hour and my condo inspection took an hour… This inspection took 4. Not to mention both inspections cost several hundred dollars each.

    We’re definitely talking about the same thing, right? I’m not talking about inspecting the home yourself (that’s the tour), I mean hiring a professional home inspector to create a report.

      Yep, hiring a guy to inspect it. I think I did an inspection on another house before the one I got. It’s worth it when they find issues, and that’s the point of doing it before an offer.
