If you have been following along you know we have gone over several steps to the buying process. This is to give you a better understanding the process on how you buy a house.
Now we have gone over finding a REALTOR, mortgage lender, looking for a house and putting in an offer and getting accepted. Now we are sending the contract over to the Mortgage Lender and we also have to get the house inspected.
Now its not something you have to do, but something we strongly recommend it. Now this is really to make sure the house is in good standing order. Especially when the house is vacant and has gone long without an owner.
There are several inspection companies and I would strongly recommend you speak to at least three. Make sure they have a license and is insuranced. If anything goes wrong after you have closed and it should have been covered in the inspection then they will make sure its corrected. Now I have never run across this problem, but you never know.
Inspections can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of the home. I like to attend the inspections to get first hand if there are any problems. Example: leaks and termites. This way I can call the Listing REALTOR and see if we can fix the problem up front.
This is something I do. Not every agent attends the inspections, but I like to, especially since most of my buyers are from out of state. Usually what happens is that they find there house while they are here, place there offer and once accepted they fly back home, and that’s why I am at the inspections. I would also be there for buyers who are right around the corner from me!!
