Buying or Selling is an emotional time in a consumers life; affecting the
largest purchase most of us ever make
at a critical time. We will do a thorough, thoughtful overview of the
condition of the property. Then you can make an educated decision when
provided with sound information.
My inspection is a thorough non invasive visual
examination of a homes: structural integrity, functionality and safety of
the essential systems. I want you to follow along in an inspection so we can
report findings and answer any questions you may have. It is my
responsibility to provide any findings in a non alarming way so you can make
your own
educated decision.
If you are selling;
to a gain top dollar in this market requires the help of a real estate
professional and I believe one approach to consider is a pre-listing
inspection. If a Home Inspection is performed prior to the house being
listed, all parties will be aware of the physical condition before an offer
is drawn.
I understand the frustration caused by the seller and realtors when one of
our pre-purchased inspections uncovers an unexpected issue. In many cases
the issue is not one that should deter the buyer from proceeding. But if the
buyer is having second thoughts, or if they are looking for a way to
renegotiate the price, the inspection may give them this opportunity. A
pre-listing inspection allows for you, the seller and the realtor to
understand the condition of the home before listing. If any deficiencies are
uncovered, you can decide to address the issues or not. If not the
prospective buyers know that the listing price reflects the issues, they
know the house has already had an inspection and it indicates the seller has
nothing to hide.
Why should I consider a home checkup? That's easy to answer; To keep your home in the best possible condition for safety and security reasons. I will perform a detailed inspection of your home or cottage from top to bottom, because you want to know what's ok and what's not. Finding problems early helps you preserve your property and doing preventive maintenance needed can extend the life of your equipment and materials, which generally proves to be less expensive than replacing these components. We want you to have a SAFE and SOUND Home. We will provide you with the Homeowner's Home Check Checklists along with our state-of-the-art web base reporting system. The report provides you with a beautiful picture of your home on the day of inspection. The home inspection report is computer generated, includes digital pictures, diagrams of relevant items and maintenance advice.
