The primary objective of Massachusetts Home Inspections is to provide my client with crucial information pertaining to the home in question and to literally point out all the visible defects that are lurking before anyone decides to purchase this prospective home. Keep in mind that all homes will definitely have their defects, no matter how much it's maintained; the perfect home simply just does not exist.

Potential home Buyers often incorrectly view a home inspection report as a mandatory repair list for the Seller. The fact is that Sellers are not required to produce a flawless house to any home Buyer. They have no such obligation by Massachusetts law or by any contract; therefore, most repairs are subject to negotiation between the Buyer and the Seller.

Typically, Buyers will request that various conditions be repaired before the close of escrow, and Sellers will usually agree to some of those demands. But with most building defects, Sellers will make repairs as a matter of choice (not obligation), in order to foster good will or to help accomplish the sale of the home. Sellers can refuse any repair demands except where requirements are set forth by state law, local ordinance or the real estate purchase contract. Purchase contracts usually stipulate that safety issues be resolved, structural issues be corrected, all fixtures to be in working order, windows not be broken, and that there be no active leaks in the roof or plumbing.

BUYERS, Before you make any demands of the Seller, try to evaluate my inspection report with an eye toward problems of greatest significance. Look for conditions that compromise the health and safety of you and your family or involve potential or active leaks in the plumbing or the roof. Most Sellers will address problems affecting crucial areas or items such as the roof, electrical, plumbing problems and big-ticket items such as the furnace, boiler, electrical issues and Wood Boring Insects. Please consult with your Realtor to assist you in working through an appropriate repair request list to present to the Seller.

Here is what my clients have to say about my home inspection services:

Hi Dave,


I want to thank you for the home inspection you did for us at 144 Avis Ave. in Dracut MA. We did not get the house because the home owners did not want to split the cost of fixing that wall. I had gotten two estimates, one from a landscaper and one from a Mason. Both gave an estimate of $15,000.00, for which I am grateful for your inspection and pointing out the wall problem. It would of been an undue burden on us, not to mention I am also grateful about the radon testing also. I just got the results today and they came back at 7.5 and 8.4, so that would of been another expense. I do hope that when we find a new house that you will be able to do our home inspection. Your fee was a drop in the hat, to what it would of cost us to fix the wall and then the cost of venting the basement. My husband was also very impressed with your report and how well it was written. Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what happened, and hopefully will be doing business with you again very soon.


Have a Good Day
Jackie Sliney
