A home inspector can give you a better idea of a home you want to buy, depending on the property’s condition, before the sale is complete. This allows buyers to require items to be acted upon or prices to be renegotiated with repairs in mind before closing the deal. This also will give sellers a better view of the property before being listed, reducing the chance of finding surprises during the selling process. Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates provides these advantages to his clients.
Hiring a professional home inspector in Kansas City significantly reduces the risk involved in what will likely be the most significant investment you make in your life. Before you buy a home, you’ll want to know whether any critical structural or mechanical issues could impact the value of your investment. These are some of the things an inspector will be looking for. According to the NAR, home inspections can save buyers an average of $14,000. This includes identifying issues that may not have been apparent during the initial walk-through, helping buyers make informed decisions about their purchase. In Kansas City, an inspection will usually cover the conditions of systems such as central air conditioning, interior plumbing, heating, and electrical. A home inspector from Gordon & Associates will also review the roof, attic, visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, basement, and structural components.
The goal of a home inspector is to provide their clients with peace of mind over their investments. No one should buy a home without knowing what maintenance or repairs will be needed before the home can be lived in. On average, a single-family home inspection takes around 2 hours to complete, but this time can vary depending on the size and condition of the house. After the inspection, the client will receive an inspection report, typically emailed within 2 hours. This report will cover the findings, analysis, and recommendations.
For the most part, no two houses are going to be the same. So there may be some exceptions to what a home inspector is able to do for your home. Areas can sometimes be inaccessible to an inspector as they perform the inspection, or conditions might be unsafe. In these instances, the inspector will explain the situation to the client, letting them know what areas they could not inspect and what prevented them from doing so.
