Home Buyers Turn into Home Inspectors
After just a few weeks of looking these first time home buyers found their dream home. We wrote the purchase agreement and the seller accepted as it was written. Now time to apply for a mortgage and do a private home inspection.
We we 5 days into the agreement when we did the home inspection and things were really going well overall. We were at the home for maybe 10-15 minutes and along with the buyers parents were taking a quick browse around while the inspector was setting up. The buyers noticed the sink leaking and couldn't get it to stop and then I heard it "IF SOMETHING AS MINOR AS THIS ISN'T WORKING RIGHT HOW WAS THIS HOUSE TAKEN CARE OF"? In this moment I watched a transformation of excited home buyer into nervous first time home inspector. The home buyers started looking under all the sinks, opening back of toilets, studying the walls, counting outlets, etc, etc, etc. It took a bit of time as the inspector went through the home with everyone to see if this home was still for them or not.
After the inspection we came to find there was very little wrong with the home overall and the transaction is moving forward. All of this over one leaky sink in an otherwise very well kept home.
