In light of all the moving parts, the checklists and transactions involved in buying a house, most homeowners put a group of experts together to accomplish the task. Realtor? You are on the speed dial. Morgtage lender? Check. Moving company? An easy choice. A certified home inspector? Maybe?
Inspections of homes aren’t the most attractive aspect of buying real estate. They’re not as thrilling as picking the perfect property or working with a designer or a flooring expert and cabinets for a brand new construction. But they’re essential. Trust me when I say that hiring a Certified home inspector is vital to safeguarding your mental and financial health.
Beware of the buyer! Some states do not require home inspectors to pass the certification procedure. Colorado is one of the states that doesn’t require licensure. Make sure you work with an accredited professional to make certain you’re receiving a high-quality complete assessment of your structure.
Here’s a great example of why you need a professional with a certification. I had a couple of clients who were thrilled to get their offer accepted for an unrelated home for their family “fixer upper” home at the lowest price. It turned out that the offer was just too good to be real. Buyers backed out of the deal when the inspector threw out the 64th (not laughing) problem. This would have been a major reconstruction project that they simply did not want to undertake. Through the use of a thorough certified, accredited inspector and a certified inspector, they were able save their money and save their the sanity of another home.
Nobody is perfect No home or building is flawless. Every home has things that are discovered during inspections.

If you need more clarity prior to moving forward, I can provide suggestions for vendors and coordinate experts’ guidance. You might need bring in experts such as HVAC roofers, HVAC contractors as well as structural engineers, to assist you examine the issues listed on the report. The seller might offer to the repair or replacement of items identified on the report or offer credit for the work that is completed following the closing.
In a seller’s market that is strong like we are experiencing sellers might not be able to resolve or fix any problems. In the end, information can be power. A report of inspection provides you with options if you wish to rescind the purchase. You can end the contract at any time without losing the money you paid for it.
The couple in the above example used the inspection for their benefit. It is possible to use the objection to inspections for any related matter, even if it’s a subjective issue. Problems with plumbing and electrical or mold and structural issues aren’t visible to the naked or untrained eye. Newly constructed neighborhoods go through strict inspections and permits process to make sure they are adhering to building regulations. But, even new or newly built homes must be inspected prior to when the warranty on your home expires to ensure that the builder is able to correct any new issues.
