WHY YOU AS A BUYER, NEED A HOME INSPECTION

A home inspection gives you more detailed information to help you make a wise decision. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential new home to:

• Evaluate the physical condition: structure, construction, and mechanical systems.

• Identify items that impact the habitability of the home that will need to be repaired or replaced.

• Estimate the remaining useful life of major systems, equipment, structure and finishes.

How An Inspection Fits Into An Offer

We can help you with any house that you read about in the paper, no matter what company or individual is marketing the home. Our sales contract includes a provision that gives you the right to inspect the property, including the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural portions. In fact we strongly encourage you to take advantage of such an inspection. We encourage you to attend a walk-through with the inspector, at the end of his inspection to ask questions and to receive a written report itemizing any areas of concern. This is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the house, as well as understand specific items that may need to be addressed. If further inspections are needed, we will be happy to arrange for tradesmen to prepare quotes for the itemized deficiencies, and to discuss the proposed repairs or deficiencies with you. We will then negotiate any major repairs with the seller, coming to an equitable solution.
