A home inspection is a crucial part of the home buying process. Whether you’re buying or selling, there are several things an inspection could turn up. If you’re in the market for a home inspector, Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates can help. Here are just some of the things a home inspection can help find:
- Problems with the roof and/or foundation
- Issues with the electrical wiring
- HVAC system failures
- Potential health hazards such as radon or mold
A home is typically the single largest investment a person will make in their life. A home inspection can reveal issues that can give you grounds to back out of an existing offer. If your offer is contingent upon a home inspection and major problems are discovered, you will be able to withdraw the offer without penalty.
As a seller, the law in Kansas and Missouri requires you to disclose known problems with the property to potential buyers. Selling a home without a home inspection puts you at risk for financial and legal penalties. Gordon & Associates can help provide the information you and your real estate agent need to ensure you are in compliance with state laws.
An inspection will help you prepare for a sale. Any repairs that need to be done before listing your home can be found, giving you the information you need when you hire a contractor to make repairs or updates.
Dru will take the time to go over his findings with you and answer any question you may have if you are present for the inspection. He will also provide a written inspection report with photographs. Hiring Gordon & Associates will help you to be sure that all inspected systems are installed correctly and functioning properly before you buy.
