The Truth About Buying a Home Today

In today’s highly competitive real estate market, it’s common for homes to be sold as-is, which means the responsibility for repairs falls directly on the next owner. This is where an Optimal Home Inspector comes in – I work solely for you, uncovering the facts about your potential new home. I prioritize spending ample time with you, thoroughly reviewing our findings, addressing any questions or concerns, and providing a high-quality, easy-to-understand report.

Preparing for a Home Inspection

In the limited time you have to evaluate the home, I want to inspect it as thoroughly as possible. Here is what I recommend:

• Schedule your appointment with me as soon as you can
• Confirm all the utilities are on – Electric, Water, and Gas or Oil is filled in the tank
• Confirm the homeowners’ personal belongings are not blocking access to the utilities
• Here is an article on Preparing for a Home Inspection that you can share with the seller
• And if you can, attend the inspection
• I highly recommend three additional services: Radon Measurement, Termite Inspection, and Thermal Imaging.

An Optimal Home Inspection values your time and your needs. If this is your first or forever home, I’ll answer your questions and help you understand the components and systems that make up the home.

As we wrap up our time together, I’ll give you my general thoughts on the home and follow up with an online written report. Depending on the size and issues we find, your report will be in your hands within 24 to 48 hours.
