Congratulations!
The next step is scheduling a whole home inspection. There are a handful of great companies in the Omaha Metro. When you call them you will want to schedule the inspection to fit your schedule. The home inspection company should notify the sellers, listing agent & myself of the date/time of the inspection that you choose. All of these inspectors also have lockbox access and can let themselves into the home.
Several items may not be included in a whole home inspection and may need to be added at an additional cost if you're interested in completing them. The most common are shed, outbuildings, radon testing, sprinkler system inspections, boat lifts, lead, mold, etc. Whichever company you choose be sure to ask what is included with a basic inspection. You can also call me with questions. Also depending on the time of year some items are not able to be fully inspected.
