Anatomy of a House and the Home Inspection Process
The event is scheduled for Tuesday, January 20, 2026, as an online class, making it accessible from anywhere. It is listed under Online Home & Lifestyle Classes and focuses specifically on real estate and home inspections.
What you’ll learn
This session is designed to make inspections feel informative instead of intimidating by explaining both house structure and inspection logistics. Attendees are guided through how to interpret findings so they can respond calmly and strategically.
Key topics include:
Major home systems (structure, mechanicals, etc.) and how they work.
What inspectors commonly find during a typical home inspection.
How to read and understand an inspection report without panicking.
How inspection results are used during negotiations between buyers and sellers.
The tone is education-first and no-pressure, with the goal of helping buyers feel informed and confident.
About the series and who it’s for
This event is part of the Prepare to Buy a Home Series, which walks buyers through key milestones such as getting started, financing, credit, inspections, and writing strong offers. It is ideal for buyers who want to better understand what is “normal” in an inspection and how to separate minor issues from major red flags.
These events are intended for buyers who are not currently under a signed buyer representation agreement; if you are under contract with another agent, the organizers note that it would be unethical for them to provide guidance.
