Michael Ackerman, a Seattle real estate agent, talks about the importance of having a structural inspection when purchasing a home.  As a buyer, you want to be fully educated on what you are buying. A good inspector will point out all the items in the home that need immediate attention, and also items that may need to be maintained in the future. It is an excellent time for the buyers to get any questions answered about how different systems in the home work.
