No matter how good a property looks on the surface, you should get a home inspection. The option period was written into Texas real estate contracts in order to give you time to perform an inspection and back out of the contract if need be. Talk to your Realtor if you have questions concerning the option period in a real estate contract. You may also want to hire a home inspector to verify the quality of repair work on your home, or to verify that a contactors quoted repairs are necessary. Texas law prevents home inspectors from performing any repair work on a property they have inspected, so you can be sure their opinion is impartial and they are working in your best interest.
