Before a property is listed for sale, an appraiser will have come through and determined the value. This is done by looking at a number of things, including the home’s condition. Even though condition directly affects value, it is not the only factor at play in an appraisal. Things like location, school district, lot size, crime rates, and the value of other homes in the neighborhood all come into play during an appraisal. Additionally, appraisers typically only look at things that are immediately visible.
An ASHI-certified home inspector like Dru Gordon of Gordon & Associates is trained to look for underlying issues. Dru will spend time examining all of the features and systems of a property in order to determine whether any current problems or potential future issues are present. Problems that go unnoticed due to being invisible to the naked eye not only impact the value of the home, but they will result in costly repairs and replacements in the future. A home inspector can get your information ahead of time to help you avoid making a bad investment, or allow you to adjust your offer to account for the repairs that are needed.
The average home inspection generally takes around two hours. If you are present during the inspection, Dru will take the time to go over his findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Later, he will provide a written inspection report, including all his issues and concerns documented with photographs.
