Home Inspections

Most articles that are written about getting a Sacramento home inspected are written towards people that are looking to buy a new or used home and that's a good thing. I wanted to change the focus in this article and talk to the person that is selling a home and what the benefits are when getting the home you're selling inspected before you sell.

So what are the benefits? The first benefit that comes to mind is the fact that you as the seller will know exactly what condition the home is in before you put it up on the market. That way you can make the decision to fix the problems before the buyer even sees the problems.

The benefit of you fixing the problems before the buyer sees them is the fact that the buyer can not use the problems that are found buy the home inspection to negotiate a lower price for the home. This is a plus for the seller.

The Sacramento home inspector is hired to be a second pair of eyes and third party that is unbiased about the home. Their job is to look at the home with their expertise to make sure that the home is sound and safe. They give the seller a complete report on their findings with pictures.

You the seller can use this report as a selling point to the buyer. This will make the buyer feel warm and fuzzy because you took the time and money to get the inspection done. This way the buyer doesn't have to spend the money or the time getting the home inspected. But don't be surprised if they get the house inspected again anyway.

Most likely they won't get the house looked at again because they are trying their best to cut costs and this would be just another expense for them. However if you don't get the home inspected before you sell it, most likely the buyer will have it inspected if they are smart. But now who has the leverage, you or the buyer?

It really is a good thing to go ahead and have the home inspected before you try to sell it. Do you really want to try to sell a home that may have a major problem with it?

The home inspector will inspect the foundation for cracks and any other problems it may have. They will also check the plumbing throughout the house to make sure that there are no leaks or piping problems. The inspector will also look at the roof from the outside and they will also check the attic for leaks. While they're in the attic they will also check the insulation for how well it will insulate.

The buyer doesn't want to have their money flying out the roof because of the lack of insulation. Having your home inspected before you sell is a win, win situation for you and the buyer. You should feel good about selling the home and knowing that the house is safe for a family to move in.
