Buyers spend on average 30 minutes to 2 hrs in a subject home before making a
decision, most of the time is spent by the owner and/or realtor sweet talking
the property and pointing out the good things. Both are biased towards the
property, selling is the main motivation. A balance to this negotiation is the
UNBIASED opinion of a third party, that has absolutely no interest in the deal
itself. This third party is an independent and objective Professional Building
Inspector. Initiated by the Buyer,
his lender, and or the involved real estate agent the main purpose of an
inspection is
BUYER PROTECTION
Often times DEFECTS, DEFICIENCIES and MALFUNCTIONS may not be
visible to the "un-trained eye". Overlooking them can be an expensive
proposition, because after the closing of the home purchase the old owner will
no longer be responsible.
Buying anything without knowing exactly what you are getting for
your money is never a good idea. If you are thinking about buying a home, you
want to have some idea of the condition of that home and hiring a professional
home inspector is absolutely necessary. You want to be alerted to any possible
problems before the sale closes.
For example, if there are flaws in the electrical system,
it may lead to overheating of wires and panel burns or more, the same is true
with plumbing systems, leaks will not only cause higher water consumption but
also damage the structure. Bad drainage is another often forgotten detail. Sure
during the sunny day you were looking at the property, drainage was the last
thing on your mind.
Professional home inspectors go through an extensive amount
of time in training and experience that cannot be attained in any other way,
including home construction experience. The professional home inspector performs
500 to 1000 inspections per year and goes through many hours of continuing
education.
Using a professional home inspector report makes it easier for price
negotiations over items that are listed on the inspector’s report. It will give
the buyer and the seller some options as to final price or getting repairs made
before closing. It is really hard for a seller to argue with a professional home
inspectors report that is a detailed list of items that need to be addressed.
Either way the buyer does not have to come up with out-of-pocket expenses after
the sale.
We always will report directly to the person who ordered the
inspection. In most cases we can provide findings right after the inspection and
discuss it with the client, A detailed report containing photos of the trouble
spots will be delivered within 48 hrs.
