Why would a seller want a home inspection?

Don't let hidden problems catch
you at settlement!

Many lenders are requiring the buyer have a home inspection done by a licensed home inspector prior to settlement to assure that the house is in good condition.

The inspection you have performed may serve as the buyer's guarantee that your home has been checked and will pass the test! You won't get stalled for an inspection that could lose you your buyer!

Most importantly, some problems require the trained eye of an inspector to see -- but they are problems that could lose you your sale -- or worse! Buyers can come back and sue sellers for problems that were not revealed before settlement -- even though the seller was not aware of the problem!

What does the inspector do?

I am a Kentucky state licensed home inspector. I will check the outside of your home for structural integrity, roof, foundation and drainage problems. Inside I will check the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and major appliances to confirm proper function.

After inspection, you are supplied with a written detailed report you can choose to share with your qualified buyer proving your home is sound and worth your price.

Doesn't the buyer pay for an inspection?

A buyer may be required to provide an inspection report to his potential lender. Usually this is done at the buyer's expense. However, if you have already completed the inspection, this assures your buyer that you mean business about selling your home and confirms it is a sound investment.

Some problems are simple -- this unit just needs the weeds removed!

How much does a home inspection cost?

There are several factors that go into the cost of an inspection including the size of the house, extra features like a pool or barn. Usually the price will be around $250 - $350.
