The inspector will inspect many different

The inspector will inspect many different systems and items in the property and will prepare a report for you to help you determine the general over-all well-being of the property. Inspections have different rates based on the size of the property and the depth of their inspection. If they provide the report to you on the spot, their fee tends to be higher.
Just remember when selecting your inspector that, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. I remember a client once who was investing in a tri-plex for close to one million dollars.

The Physical Inspection

The Physical Inspection
Once you have your offer accepted and we have opened escrow, you have a certain period of time to conduct a physical inspection of the property. You can find a licensed inspector by looking in the phone book or on the Internet. I can also give you tnames of several that I have worked with and am comfortable with.

Escrow

Escrow
An escrow company is a neutral third party that is responsible for collecting all the documentation regarding the sale and holding it in one place. After we have an accepted offer one of the agents will call the escrow company and “open” escrow. This is where all the purchase offer forms will be collected and the escrow instructions will be written. The escrow instructions basically spell out who is responsible for what and when. It covers the time frames as to when the inspections need to be completed and who will provide the home warranty and the title insurance.
Toward the end of the escrow, the lender will send the loan documents to the escrow company. These documents will address the terms of the loan and you will need to go to the escrow company and sign these papers before the loan can be funded.
We will discuss who chooses the escrow company a bit later.

The deposit is usually at least

The deposit is usually at least 3% because there is a clause in the contract here in California that states if the buyer defaults on the purchase of the property, the seller shall be entitled to retain the buyer’s deposit not to exceed 3% of the purchase price.
