What to Bring to Your Home Inspection

¤ Bring your questions !! 

¤ You should bring a pencil and note pad in case you want to make notes on some of the maintenance tips regarding your house and its systems.  You may also wish to write down the measurements for some of the rooms, windows, or other features of the house. 

¤ Most people like to take some pictures, so bring a camera if you like.  Still cameras only please.  Most current owners will accept still pictures but get uncomfortable when people start shooting video in the home. 

¤ Please bring a personal check to pay for the inspections.
