Is Your Home Inspector Working For You? – Home Inspection Jacksonville FL

Make Sure Your Jacksonville Home Inspector Is Working For You?

When hiring a home inspector in Jacksonville FL it is very important that you make sure your home inspector has your best interest in mind. There are plenty of good inspectors in Jacksonville, however there are some that are only looking out for their best interest. How so?

Well some home inspectors are more worried about getting more business from the real estate agent that you are working with. They see the real estate agent as the person that controls how much business they get. So the inspector will try not to ruffle any feathers with the real estate agent. If they do, they may never get business from that agent again. The more that happens the more their business will suffer.

As a professional home inspector in Jacksonville FL, I know that my job is to do a thorough inspection and write a detailed report that will help you make an Informed Decision based on the actual condition of the home. Many agents want you to have this information as well. Professional real estate agents and home inspectors don’t want you to buy a home that you will not be happy with or that will end up costing you more in repairs than you are willing or able to afford.

So make sure that you are working with professionals that have your best interest in mind.

If you or someone you know is need of a professional home inspector that is looking out for your best interest, make sure that you are making an Informed Decision every time you by a home by calling your Jacksonville Home Inspector at 904-891-6309 right now, which will allow you to get the best property inspection possible.

Don’t Get Screwed When Buying A Home – Home Inspection Jacksonville FL

Yesterday I did an inspection on a home, in Jacksonville, that was built in the 40’s. It was purchased without a home inspection. WHY? Because this is what the listing said.

The Person Who Bought This Home Got Screwed!

Find Out Why

INVESTOR SPECIAL! For someone wanting to rehab a home with great potential. Being sold ‘as-is’, NO repairs to include no WDO repairs. HOME WAS PURCHASED AS FORECLOSURE. SELLER HAS NEVER LIVED IN PROPERTY. SELLER & AGENT MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.

The sellers agent told them there was no point in getting a home inspection because no repairs would be made. Had my client had the house inspection BEFORE purchasing the home they could have walked away or negotiated the price by a significant amount.

Whether the home is a resale or a foreclosure having a home inspection report is YOUR negotiation tool. In this case my client could have negotiated the major repairs that were required:

• New plumbing throughout the home.
• Replacing all damaged and improperly installed exterior wall sheathing.
• Replacement of the heating and air conditioning units…

If you or someone you know is buying an “Investor Special”, “Foreclosed Home (REO)” or any other home in the Jacksonville FL area, make sure to get a home inspection from a qualified, experienced, full time home inspector. If you don’t you could get screwed!

Why New Homes Need Inspected Too – Home Inspection Jacksonville FL

Getting A Home Inspection On A New Home Is Just As Important As Getting A Home Inspection On An Existing Home!

I know a lot of people buy a new home and don’t get an inspection. Here are just a few of the common reasons why:

1. The home is brand new, what could be wrong?
2. The home has a 1 year warranty so I can wait.
3. The builder told me I don’t really need it.
4. If anything goes wrong the builder will come out and fix it.
5. It’s a waste of money!

Well watching the video above shows you just one of the things that could be wrong with your new home. In this case the home owner was wasting a ton of money on their electric bill because that one, LARGE, room was not being heated and cooled properly. The HVAC system was working more than it needed to because the temperature in that room was not being properly maintained. Because this system was working more than it needed to the electric bills were higher than their neighbors and the units will need replaced sooner than normal.

Doing the infrared, thermal imaging home inspection, I was able to show the buyer the problem. Before I even did the infrared scan I knew that problem existed.

I don’t know if the previous owner had an inspection previously or not, but if they did their inspector should have caught that issue! As a matter of the fact the code enforcement inspector should have caught that! OOPS!

In this house if they had waited until the 1 year home warranty they would have still wasted a ton of money on their electric bill. Another problem with waiting, is that after you have already moved in, you move to the bottom of the builders list of concerns. They are more concerned about taking care of issues in the homes that have not been completed. Not to mention the fact that you will probably need to take time off of work to be home for the builder to make any repairs.

Getting the inspection done before you close on the home will ensure that the builder will take care of those issues before you move in.

If you have already moved in, you should get your home inspected as soon as possible before your warranty expires. This could save you more money than if you wait until the last minute.

When looking for a home inspector don’t use an inspector recommended by the builder. You want someone who is looking out for your best interest not the builders. Another common misconception is picking a home inspector that is cheap. You want an inspector that is going to be thorough and detail all of the issues that the builder needs to correct. You are paying for knowledge, experience and attention to detail of that inspector. Make sure and choose wisely.

If you or someone you know is buying a new home or has purchased a new home within the last year CALL (904) 891-6309.
