Benefits
of a Home Inspection
Which
category applies to you?
Seller
A
seller hires an inspector to make sure their home
is “up to par” before listing it. Any
items needing attention can be taken care of ahead
of time which will then make the marketability of
your home more appealing and result in a smooth, efficient
transaction when selling.
Buyer
A
buyer hires an inspector to “reduce the chances
of a very costly or dangerous surprise.” It
is always prudent to have your “dream home”
inspected before you purchase it. Things sometimes
show up that most often the seller is not even aware
of. A home inspection will give you the confidence
in purchasing your home.
Healthy
Home Checkup
A
"healthy home checkup" for an existing homeowner
who isn’t planning on moving soon is such a
great idea. Compare it to going to your physician
for a physical exam. Your doctor can make an "early
detection" of something that could be very serious
to your health now or in the future. Knowing this
early can save you time, money, health or even your
life.
A similar situation can happen with your home too.
Your home has clues in it about its health. Often
these are not noticeable except to the trained professional
home inspector. An inspection is a proactive way to
keep your family safe and to avoid untimely surprises
and more costly expenses in the future. The old adage
- "an ounce of prevention...", may sound
so simple, but certainly holds so true. Consider an
"existing homeowner" inspection today!
New
Construction
If
you are going to build a new home or have a remodeling
project completed, Calvin can do a phase inspection
for you. This consists of 1, 2, 3, or 7 inspections
throughout your project.
This
can give you the benefit of another pair of experienced
eyes to help your project be everything that you want
it to be. Reports will be sent to you and your builder
after each inspection. Since there is no county building
inspector in Kosciusko County, this may be beneficial
to you. I also recommend a 1 year inspection on your
new home. This may also reveal more items, now that
the house has had a chance to “settle in.”
There may now be clues to problems that were not evident
at the time of the final phase inspection.
