If you’re buying or selling a home, you may have a lot of questions. You’re not alone! Here are some of the questions we are asked most often:
What is a home inspection? A home inspection is an unbiased evaluation of the condition of the accessible portions of a structure, such as the roof, foundation, doors and windows. The inspector also examines mechanical systems, such as plumbing and HVAC. A home inspector will identify existing problems and can also make maintenance recommendations.
Why do I need a home inspection? You wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it first! Before you buy, you need to know whether there are any major structural or mechanical issues that could impact the value of your investment. If you are selling a home, both Kansas and Missouri laws require disclosure of known problems with a structure.
How long does it take to receive an inspection report? At Gordon & Associates, we provide a walk-through and verbal explanation of findings at the time of inspection, and supply a written document within two hours.
What does a home inspection cost? A whole home inspection in Overland Park, Johnson County or the Kansas City area, including a termite inspection, is $ 450. You can add radon testing for $125. You can use our Quick Quote System to get an exact quote via text, or call us at 913-207-2769.
I’m buying a newly-constructed home. Do I need a home inspection? The short answer is, yes! Even an honest construction company can make mistakes. No one should have to pay to fix problems on a brand new hom.
Perhaps the biggest question our clients have is this one:
What happens if the inspector finds problems with the home?No home is perfect. Even newly-built homes sometimes have issues. The most important thing that a home inspector gives you is information. Once you know what the problems are, it is up to you to decide what to do. You might decide not to make the purchase, or ask the seller to repair the issues as a condition of the sale. You can ask for a price reduction to account for the costs of making the needed repairs, and then have the work done yourself. Those decisions are yours to make, but it’s far better to make them with complete and unbiased information about the condition of the property.
If you’re selling a home, the information you gain from the home inspection will help you make necessary repairs before listing, so that you can put the best possible product on the market and reap the maximum profit on your real estate investment. You will also have the peace of mind in knowing that a buyer’s inspection won’t turn up anything unexpected.
