Home buyers ask, How do I minimize the risk of purchasing a home especially a foreclosure which is listed to be sold  "as is"? Just because the listing states "as is" does not mean you can not have the home inspected. Before making the final decision a professional home inspection should be performed but prior to that you should perform your own walk-through inspection. We have prepared a simple 9-page checklist you can use which asks you all the questions you will need to know prior to making your offer.

When contemplating purchasing a new home everyone has the same question. Is this house a money pit? This home buyers checklist will self alert you of warning signs from the neighborhood to water stains. Because this is something you do yourself your costs are minimal and will arm you with the real questions to ask of your sales person, home inspector and anyone else who will guide you through this process.

Our staff of real estate professional was recently contacted about answering this need. What does the potential buyer need to know to go forward? A task force composed of agents, home inspectors, and investors assembled and created this checklist.
