It is always encouraged that you attend the home inspection. If you are unable to attend the whole inspection at least try to make it at the end for any details that may prove helpful with your new ownership.
For those who do attend a copy of InterNACHI’s “Now That You Have Had A Home Inspection” is included. This book Authored by Nick Gromicko (InterNACHI’s founder) is full of useful information on learning how your home works, keeping it maintained and how to save energy.
