Buyer’s Inspection


CHOOSE THE BEST

Buyer’s benefits

With the price of Real Estate, can you afford to buy a house with potential problems? Why take a chance? Get a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of the house before the deal is finalized. If the inspector discovers a problem, you have an opportunity to discuss it with the seller. If the issue can’t be resolved, perhaps that house isn’t the right house for you.

Bank-owned Properties

With all of the bank owned properties on the market right now, buyers must be particularly careful. Since no one from the bank ever lived in the home, they do NOT have to provide disclosures. The history of a property can also be vague even if you are not buying from a bank. Perhaps the seller recently bought it from a bank to “flip” it. They also will only disclose what they know, which is often limited. It is now more important than ever to have a thorough home inspection report.
