When buying a new home or re-sale home in Naples or Marco Island Florida, remember to always consider using a licensed home inspector. Inspection reports by home inspectors can be twenty or more pages with images and comments. One of the comments you’ll see often includes the word “defect’ or “defective item.” It is important to note that just because an item is labeled as defective by the home inspector, it does not necessarily mean the sales contract will require the item to be repaired by the seller. Discussing with a real estate attorney is your best chance for clarification as to what is considered a defective item in the contract.
