Common Cost Questions
Who pays for the home inspection — buyer or seller?
In most transactions, the buyer pays for and orders their own inspection, since it protects their interests before closing. Sellers sometimes order a pre-listing inspection separately to catch issues before the home goes on the market.
Is there a fee even if no issues are found?
Yes. The fee covers the inspector’s time, equipment, and the detailed report — not a guaranteed list of problems. A clean report is a good outcome, not a wasted inspection.
