Home Inspection.

The purpose of a home inspection prior to the closing is to evaluate the overall condition of the house. All needed repairs will be documented as well as any existing recognized hazards. Often the home inspection is a source of friction between the seller and the potential buyer. The buyer wants an immaculate home in perfect repair and the seller doesn't have the cash for 1000s of dollars in repairs. Don't worry, Houston Home Buyers will buy your home in any condition for CASH !

Buyers fear the mistake of buying a house with faulty working systems or major structural problems such as needed home foundation repair. In almost all cases, the home buyer will include a clause in the purchase contract to have a professional home inspection. In addition, the buyer will also include a clause that will allow them to exit the purchase contract based on the results of the home inspection (contingent on the buyer approving the results of one or more inspections). Essentially, the buyer will NOT buy if he does not like the results of the home inspection.

In addition, the buyer will review the Seller's Disclosure Notice in detail prior to scheduling the home inspection. All areas of concern will be thoroughly examined by the professional home inspector. Many times the buyer will NOT buy because of the results of the home inspection.

After a professional home inspection has been completed the buyer and seller are usually faced with decisions in one or more of the following areas:

• Cost of major structural repairs (foundation problems are almost a certainity in Houston)
  
• Cost of major plumbing repairs (almost a certainity in older homes)
  
• Cost of needed remodeling and renovation
  
• Maintenance costs over time
  
• Value of remodeling and renovation work already done
