As a realtor in Addison, I thought it was important for me
to clarify some of the ins and outs and the importance of home inspection. Home
inspections involves a certified inspector coming into the home, conducting a
complete survey of the home and then compiling a report for the potential
buyer. Some of the things inspected include structural fixtures like the
foundation, ceilings, walls, and floors; external components like patios, decks,
the driveway, roofing, siding, gutters, landscaping; heating, ventilation and
air condition; electricity; pipes; possible infestations. I am often asked if a
home inspection is required by law. There are some places that require the
inspection of a home before sale but, in most cases, it is optional. I
recommend asking a realtor in Addison for the answer appropriate to your specific
situation. As your realtor in Addison, I would highly recommend getting the
home inspected before purchase, because it is best to know what kind of
potential problems you are looking at in a home. The home inspector will
provide you with a detailed report of their findings, including anything that
needs repair or replacement. It will then be the buyers’ decision, with the
guidance of their Addison realtor, whether the home has passed or failed the
inspection. Based on the findings of the inspection, the buyer will often have
the choice to opt out of the purchase completely, ask the sellers to complete
all repairs, or to accept the home “as-is.” I do not know many realtors that
would not recommend their client having a home inspection, and often times, if the
buyer decides to forego the inspection, the realtor would ask them to sign a
disclosure form and waiver. This waiver would release the realtor from any
liability in the event that major problems were found in the home after purchase.
Nine out of 10 realtors would recommend a home inspection be completed, as would I.
