Valerie's Belfair WA Real Estate Blog: Taking the Plunge!~~ We're ready to do a Home Inspection!

Following along with our discussions of "Taking the Plunge" into Home ownership, we have found the home you want to purchase. 

• You have met with a lender for pre-approval.
• You and I have established a comfortable, professional, trustworthy, loyal working relationship and we have shared what we expect from each other.
• We have discussed the priorities of wants and needs in your new home.
• We have reviewed the steps of purchasing a home and what to expect.
• You have done your homework reviewing the information I have provided you on the various neighborhood and areas that you have shown an interest in. We have also toured these areas.
• We have looked at homes that might fit the bill for you.
• You have chosen one and want to write an offer.
• I educated you in the process of submitting an offer so that you would make solid decisions and choices and understand what was going to happen in the process along with preparing and reviewing the forms required. 
•  You and the seller have come to a meeting of the minds and we now have a Mutually accepted offer! 

In your offer we included that the property is subject to your satisfaction of a home inspection on the home using a professional inspector who will inspect the property for you (Inspection Contingency).

A home inspector looks beyond the cosmetics to make sure that the home's general systems operate properly as well as the condition of the home. He will be looking for anything that may need repair or is/could be a problem or not working.

Generally a standard home inspection report will review the conditions of the home's heating and air conditioning systems, interior plumbing and electrical system, the roof, attic and visible insulation, walls, ceilings floors, windows and doors, foundations, basement and visible structure.  He will look for cracks in the cement walls, water stains, moisture, wood rot and many other things.

He will also point out the positives of the home as well as proper maintenance that will keep it in tip top shape.

You should be present when your inspector is doing the inspection to hear first hand about the home and its systems and to be able to ask the inspector questions. 

You need to remember through this process that no home is perfect.  If there are problems found, we will discuss these and then I will help you negotiate through the process.

Taking the Plunge to home ownership shouldn't be a scary, stressful and overwhelming experience. With the right agent by your side leading the way and the rest of my team such as a lender, inspector, escrow), I have the experience, knowledge and skills to take you through the process and give you a unique and satisfying home buying experience.  Let me take the stress and show you the way to a successful plunge...
