"I firmly believe that a
homeowner can potentially save thousands of dollars over the course of
a decade by hiring a professional home inspector to review the condition
of the property every 3 years."
A home inspection by a professional Inspector is the smartest
investment that a home owner can make. As a home inspector, I find life
threatening issues in the home on a regular basis. Generally
speaking, the homeowner has no idea that the condition exists. The people
living in the homes I inspect are typically not our clients. In most cases,
the home is up for sale and the potential buyer has contacted our services
to help assist them in making a responsible decision about purchasing the
home. When I explain to sellers that a life threatening condition exist,
they are usually a little embarrassed that they were unaware of the issue.
The simple truth is, they are not trained professionals in the construction
or inspection industry. Who would expect them to be able to understand
all the intricate details of every system of the home?
Obviously not every adverse condition that I observe is
life threatening. However, we find many issues every day that should be
corrected immediately. By taking immediate actions found during the routine
home inspection, the homeowner can potentially save thousands of dollars
down the road. If you had a nail in your tire, do you have it removed and
patched right away or do you drive the car until the tire finally goes
flat, leaving you stranded on the side of the highway? I firmly believe
that a homeowner can save thousands
of dollars over the course of a decade by hiring a professional home inspector
to review the condition of the property every 3 years. It is unfortunate
for everyone that homes are not inspected until the seller decides to put
the house on the market. This dramatically decreases the likelihood that
the home will be in top condition when the buyer's inspector shows up.
If you would be interested in a home inspection as a measure
to protect your investment and family, please call me anytime. If you have
a friend or family member that may be interested in my services, please
tell them about my company.
Thank you,
