Should I attend my home inspection?

Whenever possible, yes, attending is one of the most valuable hours you'll spend in the buying process. You don't need to follow the inspector the entire time, and frankly the attic and crawlspace portions are better left to us, but joining for the last 45 minutes to an hour lets the inspector walk you through findings in person, point to the actual furnace, panel, or roof edge in question, and answer your questions on the spot. For Coon Rapids buyers, this is where you learn practical things: where the main water shutoff is, how the sump pump works, what that staining in the basement really means, and which findings are urgent versus someday. Seeing a worn FPE panel or an aging furnace with your own eyes makes the written report far more meaningful. It also helps you start thinking about maintenance priorities the day you take ownership. If your schedule won't allow it, a good inspector will still call you to review the report and take questions by phone or email. Either way you'll get a thorough written report with photos.
