Buying a house is probably the single largest investment you\u2019ll ever make, and you want to ensure you get the best value for your hard-earned dollar. That\u2019s why more and more home buyers today are turning to professional Home Inspection experts. A professional Home Inspector takes a close look beneath a house\u2019s surface, and then prepares a detailed written report for the prospective buyer on such things as the condition of the foundation, electrical service, roof, insulation, and other critical structural factors. Your Coldwell Banker sales professional can help you connect with an experienced trusted Home Inspection service in your community.<\/p>\n

Although costs will vary, you can probably expect to spend two to three hundred dollars for an inspection of a single family home. And who pays for it? Well, since the benefit is almost entirely that of the home buyer, it\u2019s usually the buyer who pays the cost of the home inspection ….. particularly in a \u201chot\u201d real estate market, where the home sellers have more leverage. All things considered, it\u2019s a small price to pay for the peace of mind it provides, and the negotiating power it can give you \u2014 especially if it indicates that there are major repairs required, but you decide to make an offer anyway.<\/p>\n

When it comes to making your offer to purchase, your Coldwell Banker professional can provide you with good advice on how to allow for a home inspection as a part of this process. Subject to the homeowner\u2019s permission, you can commission a Home Inspection before or even after submitting your offer to purchase. This is done by having your Coldwell Banker salesperson prepare a conditional offer that\u2019s contingent on a Home Inspection report that\u2019s acceptable to you. This approach gives you some distinct advantages : if the conditional offer is accepted, the property is temporarily held against other offers, yet you still have a legal escape route if the report turns up some major negative surprises, such as a bad roof or a crumbling foundation. On the other hand, if the conditional offer isn\u2019t accepted, then the need to pay for a home inspection may never arise. Your Coldwell Banker professional can counsel you on the best approach to suit your market and your individual situation.<\/p>\n
