In this episode of "Buy The Bay," Dan Ancheta interviews Todd Graham, a home inspector, about the importance of home inspections, especially for new construction homes. Todd explains the benefits of getting an 11-month inspection, which allows homeowners to address any issues covered by their one-year warranty before it expires. He also stresses the importance of communication between the inspector and the homeowner, especially for first-time homebuyers who may be unfamiliar with the inspection process.

The conversation also covers the risks of buying a newly constructed home, including the potential for unscrupulous contractors during the rebuilding process. Todd emphasizes the importance of hiring a qualified professional for inspections rather than relying on friends or family members who may not have the necessary expertise.
