Most home buyers hire a team to help them with the many moving parts, checklists and transactions involved in buying a house. Realtor? On speed dial Morgtage lender? Check. It’s a no-brainer. Home inspector certified?
“Home inspections do not make the most exciting part of buying real estate. Home inspections are not as exciting to do as choosing the house, working with designers, or selecting flooring and cabinets for a new construction. They’re still important. You should believe me when I say that working with a Certified home inspector, like a Home Inspector in Orlando, FL, is crucial to protecting your mental and financial well-being.”
Beware of the buyer! Home inspectors are not required to be certified in all states. Colorado does not require licensing. Work with a certified professional for a thorough, quality assessment of your building.
This is a great example of why it’s important to hire a professional. A couple of clients were thrilled to be accepted for an offer on a “fixer-upper” single family home at a low price. The listing price turned out to be too good for true. After the inspector noted the 64th issue (not kidding), the potential buyers pulled out of the sale. The buyers were unwilling to undertake a huge renovation project. They were able save money and their sanity by using a certified, diligent inspector.
There is no perfect person or home. Inspections of all homes reveal certain items.
I will help you to navigate the report, and then focus your attention on the items where it makes the most sense for you to negotiate with the seller. If you need more clarity before moving forward, I can recommend vendors and coordinate expert advice. It may be necessary to hire contractors such as HVAC, roofers and structural engineers in order to evaluate the issues highlighted in the report. The seller might be willing to fix or replace items highlighted in the report or give a credit to cover work that will be done after closing.
In a market dominated by sellers, such as the one we are in now, it is possible that sellers will not address or correct any problems. Information is the key. If you decide to cancel your purchase, you have options based on the inspection report. You can cancel your contract after an inspection without losing any earnest money.
The couple used the inspection in their favor. The inspection objection can be used for any issue related to an inspection, even if it is subjective. Electrical and plumbing problems, mold and structural issues are not visible with the naked eye or to those who lack training. New neighborhoods are subjected to a thorough inspection and permit process in order to comply with building codes. New or recently constructed properties should still be inspected prior to the expiration of the home warranty so that the builder may correct any newly developed problems.
When buying or selling property, there are many reasons to hire a professional. When it comes to real estate transactions, let me be your realtor. My extensive contact list will help you find the right team of professionals to make your real-estate dreams come true.
