Another reason to have representation when buying a new home

  
  • I was representing the seller as he was selling his 4 year-old-house.
    We had a buyer and they were doing the normal routine home inspection. Everything was going fine until the home inspector crawled up to the attic with his flashlight. . 

    "There is no insulation in this attic!" 

    He announced. .

    As I quickly responded. ."you mean it needs MORE insulation?"

    "NO!" he yelled back..
    "There is not an ounce of insulation in this attic!" 

    I was silent for a few seconds as I looked puzzled towards my client . .


    "Are you sure? " I asked as I started climbing up the ladder to see it with my own eyes.


    Yep, sure enough. . there was not even a dust mite of insulation on this attic. . it was clean as a whistle!


    "No wonder this house was so cold on the winters " shuddered my seller as of matter fact. .


    "You lived in this house for 4 years with no insulation on your attic?!

    Didn't you inspected this when you first purchased you home? I asked incredulously

    "No, I though they inspected the house before they gave me the keys". .answered the $600 per month heating bill dweller.


    Guess what!

    The builder will do what city inspector allows them to do. .they missed it and they sold you a brand new townhouse . .and somehow they forgot to put insulation. .

    As I called the builder for my client and demanded for them to come in and FINISH BUILDING THIS HOUSE 4 YEARS LATER!. .which they easily complied. .
  • Lesson learned for my seller. .if he would've called me 4 years before when he purchased his brand new townhouse.. . he would've save a bundle in energy bills alone!

Hey Fernando great post and why you ALWAYS get an inspection! One month heating bill would have offset that and he paid it for 4years!?!?!?!

Hi Fernando.

I find homes with a lot of missing insulation, even newer ones. But never all the insulation not there.

Crazy. better be glad they got a home inspection.

Have a great day in Gaithersburg.

Best, Clint McKie
