Question: What Types of Home Inspections Can a Buyer Do?

A reader asks, "My husband and I had our offer accepted last night on a house in a really cool neighborhood. The house is a little old, so we're concerned that it might not pass a home inspection. Our agent says a home inspector might refer us to other inspectors. What other inspectors? What types of home inspections can a buyer do?"

Answer: Your real estate agent should be able to give you a list of the types of home inspections that are generally conducted in your area. She is correct in saying that your home inspector might suggest that you hire other inspectors.
