Home inspections with Blake Evans

In this episode of the Selling Fort Wayne podcast, hosts Tyler Morningstar and Kerri Morningstar speak with Blake Evans, from National Property Inspections (NPI), about home inspections. Blake discusses why inspections are important for home buyers and what to expect during an inspection.

 

"Stuff can be overlooked. They’re in a hurry. They got deadlines, so little things like that can turn into major issues. Like that roof eventually, those shingles could completely come off and allow the roof to leak. So I think new home construction is just as important as an existing home that’s been around." - Blake Evans [08:56]

 

"I think that has a lot to do with our market right now, because with the lack of inventory of homes and people are going to be paying above what they’re asking, I’ve worked with people who are expecting an older home to be a new home. That’s there’s very few flaws and they want it to be red letter perfect, and that’s just not going to happen in an older home." - Kerri Morningstar [16:26]
