Hey, for all you homeowners home sellers and investors, there is a new informational website that gives you the skinny on what's involved and why you need a home inspection. It doesn't matter if you are a buyer or a seller. Each should have his own - preferably from a different home inspector.
This website is geared toward the Fort Worth and Dallas Texas market, but the information is useful for anyone in the United States.
The obvious benefits for a buyer is the peace of mind associated in knowing that the house is safe for our family. But it is also a great way to find out how much the house is worth - less the repairs. It gives leverage in the negotiation process as well. Sometimes a little sweat equity can save some big bucks.
The benefits to the seller having his own copy of the home inspection report is that she/he can decide what repairs to do before negotiations in order to bring the best price. Additionally, if the seller doesn't want to fool with repairs, he/she can formulate a reasonable selling price that the buyer will be happy with. Being honest and forthright, up front, about the deficiencies of the house earns "brownie points" in the sales process as well. A buyer that is comfortable with the honesty and transparency of the seller is much more likely to do business with him.
This site is full of tips, and a really useful glossary of terms. The glossary itself is worth the trip. It is always good to be speaking the same language, so to speak, as your competition in this process of give and take at the bargaining table.
So, drop by and take a read! The address is : http://homeinspectionfortworthdallas.com/
