With no laws requiring a home inspection for houses in Missouri or Kansas, many people might think this is something that can be skipped. That could not be less true. Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates has the skills and experience to help you protect your home investment in Kansas City. As for what a home inspection can do to help you, read on for a list of benefits to explain why it’s a good idea.
Information
A home inspection will reveal potential issues with the condition of the home you are buying. This includes areas like electrical, plumbing, roof, foundation, etc. This can help you avoid expensive repairs you would have to make after purchasing the home otherwise. If the damages found are too extensive, an inspection can give you grounds to back out of an existing offer. So long as your offer is contingent upon an inspection and major problems discovered, you can withdraw without penalty.
Leverage
A home inspection can reveal large problems, such as the need to replace the entire roof. If something like this is discovered in your case, you can modify your offer to account for that expense. An inspection could reveal potential health and safety issues like radon or mold, and you’ll want to make sure problems like these are either fixed or accounted for in your terms before signing.
For Sellers
Most of the reasons to get a home inspection when selling as opposed to buying are the same. The law in Kansas and Missouri requires you to disclose known problems with the property to buyers. A home inspection will help you give the most accurate information possible to buyers. Throughout his career as a home in Kansas City, Dru Gordon has always provided the information his clients and their agents have needed.
