Residential Home (Buyers) Inspections:
You only get one chance to have your home inspected before you close, make sure it is done, if not by us by someone! Your
home will be inspected by a Real Estate Inspector, licensed to perform residential (single and multi-family dwellings) property
inspections in the state of Texas. Whether you are planning to buy a new or existing home, it is well worth your real estate
dollars to have the home inspected.
Here is why, say the cost of your home inspection is 250-300 dollars, on average, our comprehensive inspection is 30-35 pages
in depth and normally identifies 3-5 major repair needs and another 10-20 items of concern. If you only request repairs or
compensation from the seller for the 3-5 major items identified during the inspection, these along can be 10 times or more the
average cost of the inspection. Add in the additional home items of concern and you are now in a position to negotiate with the
seller for 15 or more times the cost of the inspection.
Not impressed yet, OK, least look at a "worst Case Scenario", if you buy a home that has one of the more critical faults and you
want to save a little money and don't have the home inspected, you go at it alone. One year later you notice that the doors and
windows no longer close properly, notice cracks in the walls and floor tile. To make matters worse, you start seeing water stains
in the ceiling and wall joints. You then decide to hire a general contractor who informs you that you have significant foundation
defects and extensive structural settlement as a result of abnormal movement. You get a third party opinion from a top notch
Houston foundation repair company. The foundation repair company informs you that the foundation is cracked in six places and
has spread laterally across the entire slab. There estimate of repairs is a startling 18,000 dollars, not to mention the
inconvenience of having your entire foundation uprooted in order to make the necessary repairs. Add this to the general
contractors quote of another 12,000 dollars to make the necessary roof, interior and exterior wall repairs. Now you are looking at
30,000 dollars in total repairs. This could have been avoided if you would have only hired a certified professional home
inspector.
The Buyer’s inspection, whether on a new house or existing home, will provide you (the buyer) the ability to make a full real
estate assessment of the property your about to purchase. Our inspection report provides you with a complete list of preexisting
property issues and concerns before you buy. The buyer's report also allows you to negotiate for a lower purchase price and/or
required repairs, that far outweigh the cost of a home inspection and will be the best investment you will make towards your new
residential purchase. One of the biggest factors that set home inspectors apart is the final home inspection report. Compare our
detailed 35-40 page report with the average residential inspection report that averages between 8 (Texas minimum) and 25
pages. Really, it’s not how long you stayed in school, your age, who your parents were, where the school was located, or the
schools name that matters, what matters was the knowledge you had when you graduated and the products you provide to your
clients. Oh, also the friends you make along the way. At the end of the day, what will you have to show for your time and
investments?
