Everything identified during your New York home inspection will be included in a detailed inspection report. Everything depends on you the buyer. Some buyers are looking for a home that is a fixer upper and some are looking for a home that they will have very little maintenance.

Selling agents gain time to help the seller improve the appeal of the home. They help the agent set the seller’s price expectation too and can be used to substantiate a higher asking price. Sellers disclosure statements do not always disclose defects in a home because the seller may not be aware of the defective components. An independent inspector works hard for their customer and does not engage in un ethical relationships. (more…)

You may be asking yourself ‘what is a home inspection?‘ and why do i need a home inspection? Purchasing a home is often the single largest investment you will ever make. Your decision to buy should be based on solid facts provided to you by a highly qualified home inspector. Purchasing a home, especially your first home, is a very emotional experience. A home inspection helps to remove some of the emotional influences of buying a home.

Home inspections are becoming an increasingly critical part of the home buying and selling process. Knowledge in the field of property inspection has become invaluable, especially in light of stricter legislation on both a state and national level. The inspections should be done according to industry wide standards (professional home inspection standards are all similar). Home inspections are visual inspections of the main areas and systems of the house.

Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect so keep things in perspective. Real estate agents are also generally familiar with the service, and should be able to provide you with a list of inspectors in your area from which to choose. Real estate appraisers estimate the market value for all sales of houses, condominiums, buildings, rental property, and vacant land that require a mortgage loan.

Why should you do a home inspection when purchasing a home?

You will be making possibly the largest investment in your life. To reduce the possibility of unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you will want to know as much as you can about the home, co-op or condo before you purchase it. My New York home inspection will identify any deficiencies that need attention, either immediate or in the future. It will also detail any need for maintenance to keep it  and you happy. You will know much more about the home, which will allow you to make a decision with confidence.

    If you are already a homeowner, my home inspection can identify problems and suggest preventive measures that may help you avoid any costly repairs in the future.

    If you are selling your home, my inspection will give you the opportunity to get estimates and make repairs at your leisure that will put your house in better selling condition.

Why can’t I do a Home Inspection myself?

     Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a professional New York home inspector.  I am familiar with the elements of home construction, proper installation, maintenance and home safety. I know how the home’s systems and components are intended to function together, as well as why they fail.

    Above all, most buyers find it difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house that they just fell in love with, and this may have an effect on their judgment. For accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial, third-party opinion by a professional in the field of home inspection, which would be me.
