The Home Inspector is on Your Side When Buying or Selling

When you are buying, or selling a home, the home inspector is on your side.

Home inspectors are there to let you know what the condition of the property, not to sell you repairs (it is against the law to offer to do repairs), not to make the sale (we get paid, whether you buy the house or not),  and not to make your real estate agent happy (they are not our clients)

In fact, in most situations, we are the only person involved that does not have a financial bias.

To find a properly certified and ethical inspector call me, or visit ashi.org to find and inspector in your area. Be sure to pick your own inspector. Your realtor may like a specific inspector, for reasons that are not in  your best interest.

20% of Homeowners Wish They'd Had a Better Inspection.

One in five homeowners said they wish they’d inspected the home more carefully before moving in— a according to a survey by Trulia.

In order to compete with other bidders, many homeowners are signing contracts and moving in without getting a professional home inspection. Or hiring the cheapest home inspector, rather than one certified by ASHI.

In competitive markets like  it’s not rare to just forego a home inspection or say you won’t ask for any repairs. People that are doing that and purchasing properties that they could possibly have to dump tens of thousands of dollars into later.

This is the kind of mistake that Trulia real estate expert Michael Corbett says is a “disaster waiting to happen.”

“I would never waive an inspection,” he says. “I would pass on the house before I’d waive on an inspection, mainly because I may get to a house and realize [too late] that there are issues.”

Watch this clip and learn how to avoid being a victim of these scams.

Home Inspections Increase Buyer Confidence

A National survey results indicate that buyers are more likely to purchase a  property 

following a professional home inspection. 

• 88 percent of respondents say home inspections increase their confidence about the condition of any property.

• 84 percent of respondents say they would be more likely to purchase a  property after a home inspection deemed it in good condition.

• Consumers are uncertain of the services traditionally included in a home inspection.

• The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) is the Gold Standard of Home Inspectors. 

According to a survey released by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), (84 percent) respondents state they would be more likely to purchase a property if a home inspector found it to be in good condition. 

This boost in confidence delivered by a home inspection conducted by an ASHI-Certified Inspector (ACI) may be an additional factor to help increase sales of properties, and spurring the recovery of the housing market.

The online survey[1]was recently conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of ASHI to better understand current consumer perceptions about the value of a home inspection. Almost nine in 10 (88 percent) adults say a home inspection increases their confidence about the condition of a property. Eighty-four percent of adults believe home inspections are a necessity, not a luxury. 

"It is encouraging to learn having a home inspection increases homebuyer confidence," said Marvin Goldstein, ASHI president. "We look forward to prospective buyers acting on the security brought by home inspections to breathe even more life into the recovering housing market."

Interestingly, while homeowners are aware of the importance of a home inspection, more than one in four (28 percent) mistakenly believes the purpose of an inspection is to verify that a home complies with local building codes. More than one in 10 (12 percent) confused a home inspection with an appraisal. 

"ASHI is focused on raising consumer awareness about the value and components of a home inspection," said Goldstein. "We will continue to take active steps to clarify for homeowners and homebuyers alike what should be expected during an inspection conducted by an ACI, and set high standards for our members to help ensure their customers are well-informed and satisfied."

ASHI Certified Inspectors subscribe to the ASHI Standards of Practice, which visually examines the condition of the home's roof, attic and insulation, foundation, basement and structural components, as well as interior plumbing and electrical systems. For a complete list of what's included in a home inspection, please visit www.ASHI.org. 

ASHI is the only home inspection association accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) for its Certified Inspector Program. Because not all home inspectors are required to be state-licensed, ASHI-Certification is a badge of professionalism and on-the-job experience consumers should look for when hiring an inspector.

• The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) is the industry recognized nonprofit public-benefit organization of real estate inspectors.
• The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), founded in 1976, is North America's oldest and most respected professional society of home inspectors. ASHI's goals have always been to build customer awareness of the importance of a quality home inspection and enhance the professionalism of home inspectors.
• ASHI's Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice are recognized by the California Business & Professions Codes and are considered the standard of care by the real estate industry and legal profession.

Cut a few inches off the trunk before placing in water.
When your tree becomes dry, discard it promptly.
Avoid accidents by using wire or cord to secure your tree to the wall or ceiling (this will prevent it from toppling over by small children or pets).

Is a Cheap Home Inspection Really Worth Your Families Health and Safety?

Members of the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA) report that the overwhelming number of callers looking for a home inspection only ask the inspector what his/her fee is. This is of great concern as anyone, even the caller, can offer a home inspection service as there are no government requirements for experience or training of home inspectors in California.

In the current housing market, with the low inventory, buyers are advised to use extra caution, particularly when making an offer on any property being sold “as is”. Whether it is a resale property or brand new construction, a poor inspection can cost the buyer many times the difference in the fees of a good inspection, and place the buyer in danger of undiscovered safety issues missed by the "cheap" inspector that is typically inexperienced and un-certified by CREIA. Even if the seller appears to be very diligent in disclosing all know conditions, there can be significant safety conditions of which the seller is not aware.

HOME INSPECTION - BUYER BEWARE!

CREIA members understand that the cost involved in a real estate transaction is substantial and that most buyers are very concerned about their budget during this time. Home inspectors’ education, training and experience vary widely with the individual. Buyers can best protect themselves by hiring the most qualified inspector they can afford. With hundreds of thousands of dollars at risk, a thorough inspection by a highly qualified inspector is a buyer’s best opportunity to protect their investment.

Homebuyers and sellers are urged to retain the services of qualified inspectors trained and experienced in home inspection. It is also very important that the inspector be a member of a well-founded professional association such as CREIA. Established in 1976, CREIA is the largest and oldest state inspection association in the country. CREIA inspectors must adhere to CREIA's Code of Ethics and follow the Standards of Practice developed and maintained by the Association. Recognized by the State of California, these Standards of Practice are considered the source for Home Inspector Standard of Care by the real estate and legal communities.
