Frequently asked questions.

Q. Why should I spent the money on a home inspection when it’s for the buyer ?
A. You are providing it as a courtesy to the buyer, but it is to the benefit of the seller first & foremost.

1.        The future Buyer will bring in a home inspector and will comb through your home and list defects or problems, which may lead to inflated estimates and cause renegotiations or anxiety that can lead to termination of contracts.

2.        Your report will be available for review. This will help sell the home more efficiently, increase interest and will stand out among other listings.

3.        Also, help them to realize their option to correct any problems, and have a re-inspection to remove those problems that were corrected, and revise the report.

4.        Above all, a Sellers Inspection is the ultimate gesture of full disclosure and will help protect all parties.

Q. Are sellers inspections just as thorough as a buyers inspection?
A. Yes. It has to be in order to eliminate surprises later.  An inspection is only as good as the inspector. An inspector who wants business, not lawsuits, will perform a detailed, thorough and unbiased inspection with integrity.

Q. But my new listing is "clean" and has no problems so I do not need a Sellers Inspection?
A. It is great that your listing has no problems but the buyer doesn’t know that. An inspection reveals all things including good features. This will confirm what you already know and help get the house sold fast!

Q. Is the home inspection transferable from the Seller to the Buyer?
A. The home inspection should reveal the condition of the home at the time it was inspected. Components and materials age and can fail at any time. The information is naturally transferable to anyone who reads it. There is no warranty or guarantee and components will fail regardless of whether or not a home inspection was performed with the Seller or the Buyer. If the listing ages before the buyer comes along, the buyer can elect to have a fresh inspection at the normal cost. A re-inspect is only to inspect any items that were repaired.

 Q. What does the home inspector look at ?

A. The inspector closely examines all the homes primary systems looking for significant defects that may affect the value, health or safety of the property. Inspections do not usually cover typical cosmetics. Inspections are also subjective to the type and age of property. In other words some old houses have old things, new houses have new things. A property does not fail because it is old and does not pass because it is new.  Primary systems include: Roof, Structure, Foundation, Plumbing, Heat, Fireplace, AC, Interior, Appliances, Insulation, Exterior walls, windows, doors, garage.  Inspectors will open electric panels, and access attic and crawlspaces.

 Q. My home is  new or has been remodeled with new equipment so why would I need an inspection?

A.  Many significant defects have been revealed on brand new homes and newly installed equipment or systems. Just because it is new does not mean it is OK. It may be too new to have been discovered yet. All construction and equipment is subject to human error and defects especially new construction and upgrades.  There are many cases where defects discovered on older homes originate from when it was “new construction”. These defects can range from builder shortcuts, sub-contractor oversights, and manufacturer defects. Often times these defects are unknown to anyone until they are discovered. Many have been repaired for free under class action suites, Insurance claims manufacture warranties, or contractor guarantees.  

Q. How long does it take and how much does it cost?

A. Each home is different and it depends on the square feet and condition. The average home inspection takes about 2-3 hours and average cost is between $350 - $450.

 Q. What's my next step?
A. Call your home inspector and talk to them.  Ask questions. Set up an appointment for an inspector to come visit your home.
