Let us further explain some key times when an inspection would benefit you. If you're buying a home, getting a home inspection means you know about any problems and their solutions before you move in. If you're selling a home, getting a home inspection means you know you're complying with full disclosure laws, and means you can consider selecting contractors rather than waiting for the buyer to do so. If you've just done extensive remodeling, a home inspection can help you make certain the contractors did the job correctly.
Pre-Sale Inspection
Whether you are selling your home on your own or using a realtor, it's always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection. Knowledge is power. All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you answer how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation.
1-Year Warranty Inspection
With your new home purchase you automatically get a 1- year bumper to bumper warranty. A lot of natural "settlement" occurs in the first year as your home settles into its new environment.
Most new homes that are going to develop major deficiencies may begin to show obvious problems within their first year. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to get a home inspector's list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road.
Previously-Built Inspection
The best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have a professional home inspection. Home inspectors are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention.
Let your inspector spot the problems (new and old), before you commit to so major an investment and decision. A trained professional has seen it all and will provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer's inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs.
