5 Questions to Ask at Every Home Inspection in Northern Virginia

Описание: Buying a home in Northern Virginia? These are the 5 questions you MUST ask at your home inspection before closing.

If you're purchasing a home in Vienna, McLean, Reston, Alexandria, or anywhere in Northern Virginia, your home inspection can make or break your confidence in the deal. In this video, I walk you through the five most important questions I tell my buyers to ask — whether you're doing a full home inspection or a competitive walk‑and‑talk pre‑inspection.

We cover:

✔ Safety issues vs maintenance issues
✔ How old the HVAC, roof, and water heater really are
✔ Electrical system red flags
✔ Signs of past water intrusion (very important in Northern Virginia)
✔ What inspectors would fix first if this were their own home

Northern Virginia is a buyer-beware state, which makes due diligence absolutely critical when purchasing a property. Understanding these five questions can protect you from unexpected costs and help you negotiate wisely.

If you’re relocating to Northern Virginia or buying your first home here, we guide families through this process every single week.
