This episode is the second of a two-part condo and single family home structural safety series. This episode will give potential homeowners important home inspection basics. Link to the first episode in the series.

We think the Single Lady Estates community will appreciate this informative and hard-hitting episode on structural safety and home inspections.

Joe Di Pompeo PE, SECB, F.SEI, F.ASCE is the President at Structural Workshop, LLC and the past president of the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers. (full bio)

Joe has extensive experience in Real Estate Due Diligence and Forensic Engineering and was featured in National News Coverage of the Surfside Condo collapse in Florida in 2021, where he was sought out as a national expert in discussing that structural disaster.

Joe’s home inspection advice:

1. Understand the cost savings vs the risk.
   
2. Going with the lowest home inspection bid may wind up being a costly decision.
   
3. Pay attention to the recommendations made by your home inspector.
   
4. Do your due diligence. Structural issues are better discovered BEFORE a home purchase.
