Do I need a Pre-Sale Inspection?
Times are changing and many experienced home sellers and their Real Estate agents recognize the value in negotiating from a position of knowledge is always an advantage. People often live in their home for years, even decades and are absolutely certain they know their house and all its flaws; this is seldom true in our experience. An experienced home inspector sees a property from an objective perspective with years of construction knowledge, specialized defect recognition training and practical experience. A pre-sale inspection can protect the seller from serious problems that result from non-disclosure.
Addressing the faulty items through active acknowledgement is encouraging to buyers as they are likely to perceive the sellers as forthright. Almost all homes have defects that the buyer will want repaired. Fear of those unknown costs will almost certainly lead to last minute negotiation. Knowing the condition of the home prior to marketing it gives the seller an opportunity to address those defects in the way they choose. A key advantage is flexibility in how best to respond to various repair issues given the specific circumstance of the seller. They may choose to repair the items themselves or have professionals take care of them.
The home inspection is a thorough, in-depth visual examination of the structure and operating components of the home performed by trained professionals. The inspector will be at your home for 2 to 3 hours, and you are invited to come along. Please ask us as many questions as you like.
