Congratulations on your decision to purchase a home! After all that house
hunting that you've accomplished recently; you've finally found your perfect
dream home. It's the perfect location; it's the perfect size with the perfect
finishes, it's in a perfect neighborhood and has all the perfect surroundings.
Now that the seller has just accepted your offer and the bank financing is now
processing, you must be very excited.
There's only one slight problem! You just put an offer on a house that took
you approximately twenty minutes to walk through. Did you happen to notice any
major defects while you were there?
Locating any defects now is crucial because buying that home does not give
you a money-back guarantee a buyer receives with most purchases. There's no
return policy if you're not satisfied with your recently purchased home. Once
you buy a home, you're on your own to maintain it, repair it, anticipate
problems and pay all the bills. This is why it's best to know as much as you can
about potential problems now, before you make the big commitment to buy.
I know you have a lot going through your mind right now, as any home buying
process can be quite nerve racking. Relax, allow me to give you peace of mind
and help you remove the risks and anxiety of making one of the biggest
investment decisions in your life. I'll make your home buying process a lot less
stressful by keeping you well informed of the present conditions of your
prospective home. Not only am I focused on protecting your best interests, but
in providing you with expert and competent information about your new future
home.
I will provide you with a quality independent perspective on the condition of
the home you have chosen. Your home inspection will be an information gathering
process that is intended to provide you with a better understanding of the
existing property conditions. You and I will be there to learn as much as
possible about the condition of the property and to jointly engage in the
discovery process.
As your Inspector, I will perform a detailed comprehensive visual inspection
to assess the condition of the house and all of its systems. I'll help you
define the maintenance required to catch little problems before they turn into
expensive situations. I will review your house as a system, looking at how one
component of the house might affect the operability or lifespan of another. I
will determine the components that are not performing properly as well as items
that are beyond their useful life or are considered unsafe. I will also identify
areas where repairs may be needed or where there may have been problems in the
past.
I highly recommend that you attend your home inspection. There are several
reasons why it's important for you to be there. Your home inspection will
provide you the opportunity to slowly and methodically view and consider the
object of your investment. During the inspection, you will have hours to voice
questions and concerns as you evaluate your prospective purchase. It will also
be a vast learning experience for you. I'll show you how the systems work and
how to properly maintain them. I'll be able to educate you on an overall good
home maintenance plan, so that you will learn how to preserve your investment.
Before you invest hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home, be sure you
hire a Certified Home Inspector to confirm that your chosen home does not
contain major defects that could cost you thousands of dollars after you move
in. Massachusetts Home Inspections can reduce the risk of any major surprises
that may happen after you take ownership of your new home. Call me today.
