ADVICE FOR BUYERS BEFORE A HOME INSPECTION

Buying a new or pre-owned home may be the biggest purchase you make. This can be stressful because of the many unknowns such as the condition of the roof, the heating and air conditioning systems the foundation, etc.

There is no such thing as a perfect home; even new homes have issues that should be addressed. Here are some things to keep in mind.

• · Don’t get overwhelmed, expect things to come up, they always do. Both “pre-owned homes” and new homes have issues and should be inspected prior to purchase
• · Usually issues discovered in a home inspection can be dealt with over a longer period of time. Sometimes they should be fixed right away. The inspector will help put it in perspective. 
• · Maintenance suggestions will be brought up to help you understand how to preserve your home. 
• · The Purpose for the Inspection is for you to understand what you’re buying; it’s not necessarily a negotiating tool. However, sometimes negotiations do occur as a result of a home inspection. This is between you, your agent and your attorney.  Sometimes sellers are selling strictly AS-IS, and sometimes negotiations occur. 
• · Termites are very common in this region, if they are discovered they can be treated. 
• · Ask questions, point things out to the inspector. Be there to learn as much as possible. 
• · When you get the inspection report it will help you put everything in perspective. 
• · The report will include photographs of issues and concerns along with detailed explanations. 
• · Home inspections don’t pass or fail the house “it is what it is”.
