Common Odessa Home Inspection Finds

What to Expect from Your Odessa Home Inspection

When buying a home in Odessa TX, regardless if you are a first time home buyer or buying your 2nd home (or+), I highly recommend a professional home inspection. The expense is around $300 – 350 (and worth every penny).
Home inspectors are trained and licensed professionals who specialize with a general knowledge of all aspects of the home and it’s operating systems. If the inspector sees an issue that needs a more expertise, they will refer you a specialist.
