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.

Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
