Home Sellers Inspection

You need to know what inspectors hired by potential buyers will find when they inspect your home.

This information is helpful in several ways. A presale inspection will eliminate last minute surprises that can cause the deal to fall apart. By accurately disclosing the property’s condition to potential buyers you, will more likely receive realistic offers and the deal will close with fewer problems.

Properties with fewer unanswered questions will often sell faster. Surprises that arise after the buyer makes an offer often lead to delays and price renegotiation.

Almost all homes have defects that buyers will want the sellers to correct prior to the close of escrow. When you know those defects in advance, you can get repair estimates from contractors and provide that information to the buyers. You may wish to have some of the items repaired prior to listing the property for sale. A defect disclosure that is accompanied by a “cost to correct” provided by a reputable contractor can defuse a problem before it occurs. The unknown possible cost always appears more threatening and risky than a known expense.

The buyers may still wish to retain their own inspector to examine your property. We prefer to meet the buyers and to explain our report to them personally. A written report alone may appear much more negative than a report which is explained personally by the inspector.

We have a special offer for anyone to whom you provide a copy of our inspection report. We will return to the property and describe our findings personally for a minimum fee of $100. The buyers usually pay this additional fee. We have found that buyers are more likely to feel confident about the information in our report once they have met the inspector, toured the property, and have had the opportunity to ask their own questions.

Full disclosure is always the best policy for all parties involved in a real estate transaction.

It is to your advantage to obtain a high-quality inspection on your property. An inadequate inspection provided by an inexperienced or untrained inspector can produce expensive problems for both you and your buyer.

Need to Know Before Your Warranty Expires - Get A Home Inspection

3 Things Buyer’s Of New Construction
Need To Know BEFORE
Their Builder’s Warranty Expires!

Over the last several years I’ve heard Buyers of New Home Construction repeat the same three reasons over and over again as to why they didn’t get a Home Inspection and the truth of the matter is they were mistaken. Here’s what they think:

Reason #1: I Trust My Builder!

The reality today is that most homebuilders don’t even have tools and equipment. The fact is most new home builders are financiers and occasionally job site managers.
Who actually builds your new home are the sub-contractors that the builder hires to do the work. So whether your new home is built correctly and complies with the current building code strictly depends on the knowledge and skill of the sub-contractors. And speaking candidly, the quality of the sub-contractors varies greatly. And most sub-contractors are unlicensed and unregulated, so who’s looking over their shoulder?

Reason #2: The House Is New What Could Be Wrong?

Even though all of the parts of the house you come in contact with each and every day appear fine, there’s a lot more to your house than meets the layman’s eye.

Here’s the real issue; were the mechanical and structural components of the house put together properly. And truthfully, most homeowners don’t have the knowledge or skill to judge that aspect of a new home.

So here’s what happens in many cases. You go to sell your new home sometime in the future. The buyer hires a home inspector to evaluate the property for them. And low and behold the buyer’s home inspector finds lots of things that were done improperly by the sub-contractors and now the buyer wants you to make the necessary repairs.

So I’ll ask you again, why should you pay for someone else’s mistakes?

Reason # 3: The Municipal Building Inspector Inspected The Home!

Here is a True Consumer Safeguard that has sadly gone bad!

Because of the housing boom over the last few years many Municipal Building Inspectors are forced to conduct 40 to 70 inspections daily. These inspections have been reduced from quality checks to “drive by” glances.

One of the other things many Municipalities have done to keep their costs down is to let the new home builders opt out of the Municipal Inspection Program and hire private home inspectors for their building code compliance exams. Now, do you think there is a built in conflict of interest when the person building the house pays “his own inspector” to pass his work?

So here’s the long and short of the matter: You Need An Independent Evaluation Of The Property By Your Professional Home Inspector To Protect Your Interests!

So give Canyon State Property Inspections a call today and we will evaluate your home from the foundation to the roof and all areas in between and produce a list of issues that you can give to your Builder so that he can pay for his own mistakes and you won’t get stuck holding the bag for future repairs.

Thousands of homebuyers and sellers have chosen Canyon State Property Inspections Home Inspection Services for their inspection over the last 6 years! That many families can’t be wrong!

These guys saved me money

I needed a home inspection before my one year warrantee was up with my builder (I found several small things wrong with my home and I don’t even know what I am looking for). I didn’t like the guy my realtor suggested so I looked on KUDZU and found Canyon State Property Inspections.

All I can say is thanks KUDZU.

The builder was here for three days this week fixing all the things Steve found wrong with my home. I know he saved me several thousands of dollars worth of work I would have had to do (pay for) later after my warrantee expired because that’s when things go wrong, after the warranty expires.

Thank you Steve and I referred you to two of my neighbors that have their warranty expiring in February.

Saved Me From Spending $1200

I thought that my home was in excellent condition but decided to get a home inspection before my one year warranty expired just in case there were problems I didn’t know about. Well, to my surprise all 15 of the recessed lights in my home were not the correct type of lights for areas with insulation (like in my attic). I remembered seeing in the news that two homes in the valley burnt down last year because of lights like these coming into contact with insulation.

The guy who did the home inspection when I bought the house new never even said a thing about these lights. I am sure glad I read the reviews on Kudzu and decided to call Canyon State Property Inspections to do my home inspection. Not only did Steve save me from spending about $1200 to replace all these lights but I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if a fire would have started.

Thanks Steve for you knowledge and your attention to details.

Great job!

Great home inspection company

I picked Canyon State Property Inspections to do my one year warranty because of the reviews on KUDZU. The home inspector that our agent suggested that we use when we bought the house didn’t find much of anything. He said the house looked great. Wrong, after 6 months in the home we found a lot of things that the home inspector should have caught.

Our builder said that they would fix everything at our 11th month walkthrough; all we had to do is make a list. A list, what do I know about home building. So we called Steve with Canyon State Property Inspections as recommended by so many people on KUDZU to do our 1 year warranty inspection. He found a lot of things that needed to be repair by the builder, things we would have never found. He even found a major electrical safety/fire issue with our recessed ceiling lights.

Steve knows what he is doing, he is friendly and he can communicate in laymen terms. We were every happy with our home inspection and the report. The report made it very easy to make sure our builder new what to fix and it documented everything before the end of our 1 year warranty… so they had to fix it.

Thanks Steve
