The other day, we were helping our client with a Home Inspection before purchase.  We always recommend to our Buyer clients that they get at least a Structural Inspection.  While an Inspection report by a home inspector contains a lot of information on the home's condition, it is sometimes hard to discern what to prioritize when asking a seller for repairs.  One thing that seems to get ignored, but has a great impact on the home is both over hanging trees and trees that are in close proximity to the house.  Most Inspectors will recommend overhanging trees to be trimmed.  As for trees and vegetation close to the house?  It should at least be pruned away from the house.  The importance of doing this cannot be understated.  Ignoring this could put your home in danger of insect intrusion, foundation cracks, roof damage, or worse.

If you need someone to help guide you through the ins and outs of the home buying process, let EZ Team show you the way.  We make it EZ!  Call us today - 410-271-9499.
