Finding a home inspector in Johnson County may be something you have never considered. But if you’re buying or selling a home, there are several reasons you should think about it. If you’re looking for someone to help you protect your current home investment or to help you evaluate a home you’re considering for purchase, Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates can help. Here are seven reasons why you need a home inspector.
If you are buying:
- An inspection will reveal potential issues with the condition of the home you are buying, such as problems with the roof, foundation, plumbing, wiring and HVAC systems, to name a few. This can help you avoid expensive repairs after purchasing.
- To give you grounds for backing out of an existing offer. If your offer is contingent upon an inspection and major problems discovered, you will be able to withdraw the offer without penalty.
- An inspection can reveal potential health and safety issues such as radon, or mold.
- It will give you leverage in negotiations. For example, if you know the roof needs to be replaced, you can modify your offer to account for that expense.
- Most lenders encourage a home inspection for their customers who apply for a mortgage.
If you are selling:
- Many of the same reasons apply for sellers as for buyers, but with one difference. For sellers, the law in both Kansas and Missouri requires you to disclose known problems with the property to buyers. Selling a home without a home inspection puts you at risk for financial and legal penalties. As a home inspector in Johnson County, Dru Gordon provides the information you and your agent need to ensure compliance with state laws.
- A home inspection will help you prepare for a sale. If repairs need to be done before listing your home, having an inspection gives you the information you need when you hire a contractor to make updates or repairs.
