When it comes to a home inspection in Missouri or Kansas, no laws require one to take place. While this might cause many people to think they can go without an inspection, they couldn’t be more wrong. Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates has skills gained over his long career to help you protect your home investment in Kansas City. Read on for an explanation of why the benefits of a home inspection alone are too good to miss out on.
Protection
A home inspection can reveal many significant problems. Rather than moving into your home and discovering you need to replace the entire roof, the goal of an inspection is to give you a list of things that need to be repaired by the seller before you close on the deal. An inspection can also reveal hidden health issues like radon or mold. That way, you can be ready to move in and be comfortable as soon as the house is signed over to you instead of waiting on repairs to be done later.
Knowledge
The potential issues a home inspection could reveal can save you time and money. Common areas that an inspection can find issues with are electrical, plumbing, roof, and foundation. Finding these issues early can help you avoid paying for expensive repairs after purchasing the home. If these damages are too widespread, the inspection can give you grounds to back out of your existing offer. You can withdraw if your offer is contingent on an inspection and significant problems are discovered.
For Sellers
All the same reasons for needing an inspection as a buyer exist for sellers as well. Kansas and Missouri law requires you to disclose any problems with the property that you are aware of to buyers. A home inspection will help you give buyers the most accurate information possible. Dru Gordon has always provided the information his clients and their real estate agents have needed throughout his career as a home inspector in Kansas City.
