Buying a home should not be a stressful experience. Unfortunately due to time constraints, trying to sell one’s current home and dealing with all other aspects of a real estate transaction stress is unavoidable. With the chaos that swirls many defects of the home may go unnoticed or unattended ultimately rearing their ugly head in weeks, months or maybe years down the road. The buyer should require a home inspection at the time of the formal offer and make sure that the contract has an inspection contingency clause. With our knowledge and experience we effectively identify the difference between which items are routine maintenance issues, which need to be addressed in the near future, items that need to be corrected immediately and those that compromise safety. The knowledge gained by having a pre-purchasing home inspection will allow for better understanding of how to maintain the home so when time comes to list the property our client can maximize the homes profit potential.
