Home Inspections Are In The Buyers Best Interest

It’s always in a buyer’s best interest to do an inspection at some point in the offer process.

In a market like this, a showing may only be 15 or 30 minutes tops to look at the house. During this showing, buyers are encouraged to make a shortlist. This list will have the most significant questions or concerns that they have. The home inspector will address those items along with a complete inspection of the home.

A home inspection can be done either before you put in an offer on a property or after as a condition to the agreement. Some of our clients even get this all done after they have purchased the property. For their own knowledge as new owners of the home. If a home inspection is done on a property before an offer, buyers can go in with a clean offer.  Submitting a FIRM offer is one of the keys to a successful offer. This way you will still have peace of mind.

For other buyers, a home inspection might be something that happens as a condition of the purchase of agreement.  Doing so can offer some important information to buyers. It can help prioritize any significant repairs.  It can help new homeowners learn about their new home and how to take care of it.
If you are looking for a home inspector that you can trust, reach out to us at RealEstate@CRESI.ca or 289-266.3038 and we will connect you with a home inspector that we trust will provide you with great service.
