The purpose of a home inspection is to
find unsafe, damaged, or incomplete aspects
of a home. If such a problem is detected,
maybe faulty wiring or signs of mold, the
inspector will write up a report describing
the problem, and may suggest further evaluation.
Gregg and Lisa Whitney feel inspections
are very important, as emotions can affect
a Buyer who has fallen in love with a potential
home, and has a hard time imagining there
are any problems.
Their partnership, also known as Whitney
and Associates, has a proven, long-term
track record of successful real estate sales
in the La Jolla, California Real Estate
Market. Gregg and Lisa Whitney believe Clients
should be educated about what to expect
at a home inspection and have provided this
information so Buyers and Sellers can fully
understand the home buying process.
Gregg and Lisa Whitney think it is important
for a Seller because, not only will it offer
full disclosure, but also if the Seller
repairs the defects ahead of time, it can
save money because the price for the home
has not yet been negotiated, and these costs
can be worked in. Also, this will give the
Seller time to find a reasonable contractor,
instead of one presented by the Buyer with
inflated estimates.
Gregg and Lisa Whitney believe that there
are certain things to expect at a home inspection.
Whether you are buying or selling La Jolla,
California Real Estate, a home inspector
should report on the condition of the following:
the structure and foundation (including
walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors),
interior plumbing, electrical systems, and
the heating and air conditioning systems.
If your inspector does not include an inspection
for things such as mold, radon, and water
testing (as many do not), it is a good idea
to find an inspector who does, because such
defects can be potentially very dangerous
and costly.
It is also important to know what not
to expect. Gregg and Lisa Whitney want you
to know that a home inspection is not an
appraisal, and it is not concerned with
the value of the home, nor will it pass
or fail the home. Do not expect an inspector
to tell you what to pay or if it is worth
buying. Do not expect to be told how long
the appliances left behind, such as the
air conditioning, will last. The inspection
is concerned with the state of different
components of the home at that time, not
how they will be looking down the road.
Also, keep in mind that a home inspection
often is not a code inspection, and may
not check to see if the building it up to
current code. An inspection is strictly
for the purpose of addressing defects or
problematic aspects of the home before the
sale closes.
