[speaker001:] Can you tell me the results of my home inspection?
[speaker002:] Before I answer that, I want to make sure that you know what I was looking for. Are you clear on what I was looking for?
[speaker001:] I never had a home inspection before.
[speaker002:] I inspect the home for problems that might not be all that apparent in a quick walk-through.
[speaker001:] I asked the owners, and they said that everything was great with the house.
[speaker002:] The owners might not be aware of everything wrong with the house. Some things are hidden, but might still be a problem for you in the future.
[speaker001:] I heard that the owners must fix all of the problems before the escrow closes.
[speaker002:] I inform you of the problems. If there are major problems, you can decline to buy the house or they may wish to fix any problems.
[speaker001:] What kinds of things did you discover in my home inspection?
[speaker002:] I found some fairly major problems. A major support beam in the roof is broken, and the shower floor leaked and rotted out the second-floor joist.
