Looking For And Finding Phoenix Home Inspectors

By Cynthia Fisher


Regardless of the appearance of a house on the market or how much a potential purchaser likes its layout, it does not mean that the house is a good investment. Phoenix home inspectors can check the house over and alert the buyer to any potential problems. This can alert the buyer and save him a considerable amount of time and money that he may not be willing to invest.

The buyer needs to check to see if the law requires the house he is considering buying to be inspected before the contract is valid. Different locations have different laws regarding home inspections. It is not unusual for the decision concerning whether or not to have a home inspection to be left up to the buyer.

Having an inspection done is advantageous for both the buyer and the owner. Some owners have them done before they ever put their house on the market so they can fix anything that might hinder a sell. This saves the owner money because the cost of repairs is often cheaper if it is done before the buyer requests an inspection. When a potential buyer sees the results of the home inspection and knows that any problems have been fixed, he has the confidence to go ahead and put a contract on the house.

When a buyer finds a house he is interested in, it is important to have it inspected. An inspector will advise him about any major repairs that need to be done or systems that do not work. Once the problems are known, the owner and the buyer must come to a decision concerning who will do the repairs and who will pay for them.

It is not easy to find a home inspector that does a good job and that can be trusted. An inspector who allows the buyer to walk with him through the house during the inspection is a great help. The two can talk over any problems they find and the buyer can ask questions if he has a doubt about something.

Beware of real estate agents who are only willing to recommend one inspector or that has one who works directly for his company. Some states do not regulate their home inspectors, and it is easy for agents to attempt to develop a good relationship with an inspector so that they help them make more sales by not reporting all of the problems. The inspector chosen should be someone who has no connection to the real estate company or agent.

It is the job of an inspector to check the main parts of the house and all systems. He is not supposed to have the answers to problems that cannot be seen. For example, he does not know the reason why there are newly renovated walls. He has no way of knowing what is behind them.

The normal order for inspections is for the buyer to bid on the house that he is interested in and then get an inspection. In retrospect, it seems more logical to do the inspection first. This would provide the information that both the owner and the buyer need in order to know the value and the condition of the house so they can reach an agreement on the selling price.
