When you go to buy a home, know that you need to get the home inspected before you buy in order to avoid becoming a victim of a real estate scam. However, did you know that one of the most common ways people get ripped off when buying real estate is when they are scammed by professional home inspectors themselves? Or don’t even get the home inspected in the first place? This is why we have compiled this list of the top 10 home inspection scams to watch out for.
