An inspection is a visual analysis of the accessible portions of the home and its component systems, such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, structural and cooling/heating systems.  An inspector’s report alerts the buyer to potentially expensive and annoying physical defects in the condition of the home.

So what’s the difference between these two concepts? It’s simple; a Pre-qualification is a preliminary and informal estimate of how much money you’ll be able to borrow for the purchase.  This is done by verbally supplying the
