Common Items Found During Inspection and How to Use Them to Negotiate

Greg Prado

Senior Inspector | EWA Home Inspections

If you’re involved in real estate, either as a buyer, seller, or investor, learning about common items found during inspections and how to use them for negotiation is especially valuable. When an inspection reveals issues like structural problems, roof damage, plumbing issues, or electrical hazards, you can use these findings to avoid overpaying for a property. It’s an essential skill that pays off in the long run, especially if you’re negotiating real estate. Greg is also a REALTOR.
