With so many of the homes in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and Queen Creek being bank owned foreclosures, you need a home inspector that knows his stuff if your thinking of buying one. There is no doubt that you can get a great "deal" when buying a foreclosure property in the Phoenix Valley right now, however as these homes are bank owned and the bank has no knowledge of the property or its condition you as a buyer will not receive a "Sellers Property Disclosure Statement" as you would normally get when dealing with a traditional home seller. With out this information you are buying a home with out knowing its full history and as every bank is going to insist you buy the home "AS-IS", the person you decide to inspect the home for you had better know their stuff !
Home Advantage Home Inspection has the experience when it comes to inspecting bank owned homes, in fact owner, Orlin is inspecting bank owned properties at a rate of 10 bank owned homes to ever 1 traditionally sold home right now. "Most of these homes have a sad story behind them and the old home owners financial distress often shows in many of these homes with the condition being less than desirable more often than not."
Buying a home is one of the most important financial decisions that you'll ever make. Careful consideration of all of the available information must be made. While the home that you have found may appear to be everything that you are looking for, there may be potential issues and/or defects that you are not aware of. Those defects may be both costly and dangerous to you and your family in the future.
Home Advantage Home Inspection takes the stress out of this process and gives you peace of mind to know if you should move forward with the purchase of a home, especially if it is be bought AS-IS. There are many components that make up a home from the foundation to the roof, the air conditioning unit to the hot water heater, everything needs to be inspected and tested to ensure correct function.
"You would be amazed at some of the things I find" says Orlin. "I could write a book on the weird stuff I find during the course of my inspections. There is the usual stuff such as poorly installed insulation and Low E windows installed the wrong way around both of which will guarantee higher than normal utility bills. Security issues with dead bolts appearing to function correctly, but not engaging correctly allowing the front door to be opened with very little effort. Foundation issues and settling are common on homes in this area due to expansive soil conditions in this area. All that stuff is not unusual though. I have found some "strange" additions to homes. Secret rooms and stripper poles fall into that strange category" Orlin says laughing.
Home Advantage Home Inspection makes it easy for you to order an inspection and has a very reasonably and easy to understand menu of prices depending upon the size of home to be inspected. You can even schedule a pest inspection at the same time with the click of a mouse button. Home buyers are encouraged to attend the inspection once the job is completed to go over what has been found so explanations can be given and concerns addressed. A full report is then compiled including photographs of key items found during the inspection process and sent over to the buyer for their records.
If you are thinking of buying a home in the near future, make sure the team you use to assist you with that purchase has what is required to get the job done. Home Advantage Home Inspection should be part of that team. Now go buy a bargain on sale while stocks last.
