An Optical Octopus Illusion Illustrates the Need for a Home Inspection

Watch and then ask.. What does this have to do with real estate or a home inspection?



Now, the answer to the question. What does this have to do with real estate? When I saw it the first thing I thought (well maybe not the first, but definitely one of the next five thoughts) was, "This is why you MUST get a home inspection!" So many times you can walk through a house and a very pretty picture has been painted, but underneath the paint on the canvas (behind the sofa)can be some real problems. We always recommend a home inspection to all of our buyers. We recently found a home whose heating system didn't work. It's the middle of summer, would you have thought about that?

A home inspection company just recently came to us and told us about having a home inspection before you sell. What a great idea! Have the home inspected and then fix what you want or fix it all. You can have a copy of the inspection at your home along with a list of what has been corrected. This lets all potential buyers know what could possibly be wrong and what you were willing to address.

Either way, whether you are buying or selling a home inspection by a real home inspector is a good thing.
