Yes, a home inspection is highly recommended when buying a home. A qualified home inspector will evaluate the property's condition, identifying any potential issues or necessary repairs. This will help you make an informed decision and negotiate repairs or price adjustments, if needed. I can provide recommendations for reputable home inspectors in your area.

Making a competitive offer involves careful consideration of various factors, including market conditions, comparable sales, and the seller's motivations. I will provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine the fair market value of the home you're interested in. Together, we will strategize and craft an offer that is appealing to the seller while protecting your best interests.

The timeline for buying a home can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the transaction and financing process. On average, the process from house hunting to closing can take anywhere from 30 days to 2 months.
