We also offer a Home Inspection Class!
The Home Inspection Class is now held separate from the home buyer course – it takes place on site in a local home
A certified inspector will walk us through a home inspection – including a close examination of the home both inside and out, plus basements, attics, garages, etc. You’ll learn what to look for when you are visiting homes for sale, plus what questions to ask and potential “show stoppers”.
The Home Inspection Class is $20 – but is HALF PRICE for anyone who has completed Home Buyer U!
