Finding a home inspector is an essential step in buying or selling a house. This is true regardless of market conditions or the age of the home. If you’re wanting to buy or sell a home in the Kansas City area, Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates is an ASHI certified home inspector you can trust.
The events of the last few years have changed the way the majority of people live their lives. One result of this has been an increase in demand for homes. All the time at home has led to people realizing that their current home is not their ideal home. This issue is made worse by the disruption of new home construction due to disruptions in the production and transportation of building materials. This, along with record-low mortgage interest rates have led to a seller’s market in real estate.
If you’ve been looking for a new home for a long time, you might be tempted to forego finding a home inspector in order to close the deal more quickly. This idea is extremely risky and could end up costing you thousands in repairs.
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make. A home inspector can help you make sure that you get your money’s worth. While laws in Kansas and Missouri require sellers to disclose any material defects in the home they’re selling, minor issues that need to be fixed could get overlooked.
Hiring a home inspector is an affordable option to avoid headaches later. Finding problems with a home beforehand gives a buyer leverage in negotiations and could impact the final purchase price. As a buyer, you can make the purchase contingent upon fixing any issues in order to avoid the expenses falling on you after the sale is finalized.
Even newly built homes should be inspected before purchase. Contractors can make mistakes or worse, cut corners to lower costs. A home inspector from Gordon & Associates will provide a thorough report so that you can be sure all inspected systems are installed correctly and functioning properly before you buy.
