Buying a pre-owned home can be risky. You don't know how well the previous owner has cared for the home, and you may not have a clear understanding of the condition of systems inside the home, such as heating and cooling, the roof, or major appliances.
I am pleased to be the exclusive provider in Kamloops for Certified Pre-Owned Homes. This new program will allow buyers to feel comfortable with the condition of the pre-owned home they are purchasing, and will allow sellers to garner the maximum price for their home.
First of all, what is a pre-certified home? Simply put, it is a home that has been inspected by an approved home inspector and found to be safe and fully functional. The precertification process occurs before a home is listed and sold. This benefits both the seller and the buyer.
For Sellers:
The largest part of the precertification process is up to you, but it is simple. We bring in a pre-approved inspector who does a thorough inspection of your home. He checks the heating and cooling systems, the roof, major appliances, doorbells, windows, etc. Then, he completes a checklist that identifies any areas that need attention or repair, and he provides that checklist to you. This gives you the opportunity to repair or resolve any issues BEFORE a potential buyer comes along. The benefit to you? First of all, this makes the home more appealing. With so many buyers starting their search on the internet, being Pre-Certified can make your home stand out. With the inspection and repairs done, you eliminate last minute negotiations over a buyer's inspection and needed repairs....and; you eliminate being faced with last-minute costly repairs you didn't know about. Ultimately, selling a Pre-Certified home may result in more money in your pocket--buyers are more willing to part with their hard earned money knowing they won't have thousands of dollars in repairs to contend with.
For Buyers:
Wouldn't it be nice to walk into a Kamloops home, find it's already been inspected and everything works? Wouldn't it be nice to know, up front, that the home you love is actually in good shape under the new coat of paint and carpet? That is what you find by buying a pre-certified home. Since the seller has already taken the time and absorbed the expense of an inspector and needed repairs, this can allow you to move in without months of repairs hanging over your head. And, with the condition of the home already known, it can result in a quicker closing process. In addition, the home now has a 1 year warranty on all of its major systems. Not only are you getting a home with a heater and stove that work today; they are guaranteed for the next year!
With so many homes on the market, competition among homes on the market is fierce-this can give your home the edge. For buyers there are so many homes to choose from, this can help narrow down your choices by showing you which homes are truly ready for you to move in. And remember, I am the ONLY realtor in Kamloops offering this program!
