Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some things you should know if, it been a while since you last bought or sold a home? (9)

Michael Petruccelli says; What if there is a defect in my home?

Many homes, new or old, can have material defects. There may be aspects of your home that have become comfortable with and consider  to be simple inconveniences that are in fact material defects. Defects are quite often a result of age or conditions that occur as a result of home modifications, or wear and tear. These conditions will simply be noted in the inspection report for the buyer with their significance and a suggested corrective action.
