Most clients ask for a home inspection of their potential new house. If you decided to list with The Davidson Team, we provide a free home inspection as a part of our services. Additionally, wealso provide tips on how to gain the most out of the inspections.
When deciding on a home inspector, first be sure they are experienced and reputable. Once the inspection is completed, we can review the results to understand the current condition of the property and how that may influence your interest in making an offer as well as determining an initial offer price. For example, you may discover that you'll need to replace or repair major systems and components, or that the property maintenance costs are more that you had in mind.
This is the added value a good agent can bring to your home buying process. There are so many things to consider when you shop for your new home. IWed be happy to share our expertise to ensure that this experience will be rewarding and hassle free.
Here's some additional tips:
1. Find out how much it will cost to maintain the property.
2. Obtain bids from certain contractors (plumber, roofer, electrician or drainage expert) who may need to look at the property before giving estimates.
3. Find out if the seller has had contractors work on the property. They may be able to provide you with information about future maintenance costs.
4. Discover from the previous owners what routine maintenance chores they took care of during their term of ownership.
5. When was the last time the roof gutters were cleaned?
6. Obtain names and numbers of craftsmen previous owners utilized.
We hope you find this info useful!
