Home Inspections

If you have a house for sale in town, your buyers will probably include a structural inspection contingency in the contract which will allow them to have an expert check the house and the major systems and appliances.

A professional structural inspector can help buyers to "know" the house and to feel comfortable with it, but the inspection does not result in a pass or fail grade. The buyers will learn important things about the house, such as where the water cutoff valve is located, in case of an emergency. The inspection may also help buyers set up a budget for repairs and determine if they want to invest in cost-effective measures to increase energy efficiency.

Buyers rarely back out of a sale after a structural inspection. Even if there are problems, you have the opportunity to negotiate a compromise and avoid any obstacles that could seriously threaten the sale.
