Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where everyone was honest and upfront with each other? Unfortunately, this is far from the case in today’s world. While we would like to believe that a seller will let you know about any issues there are with your potential future home, this doesn’t always happen.

If you want the real deal on your home, your best bet is to get a thorough home inspection of your new property. What might your inspector be on the lookout for to find things that a seller tried to hide?

A dead giveaway is furniture, carpets, or other items that appear out of place. So many times it only takes a quick move of a couch to find out that there is serious damage underneath it. If you notice that there is fresh paint or wallpaper somewhere, it is possible that it has been put up to cover over something concerning underneath.
