Buying a Home on Long Island

What should I look for during a home inspection?

Written and reviewed by Andrew Ragusa, Licensed Real Estate Broker and Broker of Record, REMI Realty LLC — 11+ years of transactions across Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens.

The short answer

Let the inspector take the lead and follow their process. The most effective inspectors compile their findings into a clear report and then conduct a summary walkthrough to highlight the key issues. Every inspector has their own style, so speak with them beforehand to understand how they work. I always provide clients with multiple inspector recommendations and encourage them to compare options outside my network as well.
