Why have a home inspection?

Buyers

Any purchase agreement should include a statement that the purchase is contingent upon a satisfactory professional home inspection.

• Buyer beware! Protect yourself by knowing the existing problems of the home before taking ownership. Once you purchase that home, you have also taken ownership of the cost of repairing those pre-existing problems.

• You receive an immediate report on the condition of the home, including any findings that may or may not require a substantial financial investment to correct.

• The detailed report you receive will aid you in making an informed decision on the home you are purchasing, based on the structural and mechanical condition of that home, and if any renegotiating needs to be made on the items found during the inspection.

Sellers

How to choose a home inspector

Previous home inspector clients

• The best way to choose a home inspector is by word of mouth through others that have paid a home inspector for their services. Listen to and talk to them, and determine if that home inspector is right for you.

Lenders

• Lenders can direct you to the home inspector that will provide you with the best service. They have the same interests and concerns as a homebuyer, and want an unbiased, honest and knowledgeable report of the condition of the home. Lenders have the same financial investment that the homebuyer does and want to know the true condition of the home they are financing.

Attorney

• An attorney usually has a home inspection company they trust. One that is honest, competent and professional and that they know will furnish a factual report. Essentially, you pay the attorney to protect your best interest and they want to work with a home inspector that does the same.

You

• YOU are the best person to decide on the home inspector that is right for you. Make personal contact with a prospective home inspector and ask questions.
• How long will the inspection take? hold the inspector to the industry standard – 3 to 4 hours
• does he act and look professional, does he have good, clean and professional equipment/vehicle?
• Feeling comfortable and being able to talk freely during an initial interview with a home inspector is a good indication of the satisfaction you will get from that home inspector and the home inspection process.
