What To Expect: New

Buyers Benefits: A professional
New Jersey home inspection is the best way for potential home buyers
to effectively evaluate the risks of a property purchase. A major
concern of NJ home buyers is being suddenly confronted with major and
costly problems after they take possession of a property. A professional
pre-purchase home inspection can reduce anxiety by screening for
problems and itemizing them in a comprehensive report. This report may
include approximations of repair costs and recommendations of useful
upgrades to the property systems. The general result of a professional
home inspection is that property buyers make significantly more informed
purchases.
Screening for Problems: All homes
have strong and weak points, they are not always what they seem. Gain
the perspective and sound information you need to make better decisions
with a home inspection performed by an experienced professional home
inspectors. A good home inspectors works through a very long checklist
of potential concerns to identify the major and minor deficiencies in
the home. A good report will clearly describe the problems
and illustrate them along with the what-to and how-to of repairs.
Provide Owners Benefits: Home owners who
are planning to make improvements to their homes in order to increase
its market value would be well advised to have it inspected first. A
home inspectors can help prioritize home improvements and offer advice
on the best ways to approach repairs. More importantly, an inspectors
can help the seller identify potential or undiscovered problems before
those problems become material for contract contingencies. By taking a
pro-active approach one can avoid the frustrations many owners encounter
when they are asked to re-negotiate their contracts because of
unanticipated problem areas.
Credentials: Like any other professional,
home inspectors
(even those with licenses) have varied degrees of expertise. All
home inspectors should be carefully screened. Inspectors learn
from experience. It takes a few thousand inspections and a more
than a few complaints for a home inspectors to LEARN what it takes to
satisfy clients. I spent seven years as a construction contractor
prior to becoming a home inspectors in 1993. I have taught the New
Jersey home inspection training class to new inspectors since 2002.
I still see things I have never seen before. Would you want the biggest
investment of your life inspected by a person who took a three week
training class? RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION ALLOWS NEW JERSEY HOME
INSPECTORS TO BE LICENSED WITH AS LITTLE AS THREE WEEKS OF CLASS ROOM
TRAINING AND JUST ONE WEEK IN ACTUAL HOMES. LICENSING IS A MINIMUM
QUALIFICATION. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR RESUME!
Many people without specific home inspection credentials offer services.
Likewise, credentials are not always what they seem. Engineering and
architectural credentials alone do not prepare anyone to competently
inspect homes and communicate the findings. A helping attitude, good
communication skills, and mature judgment must supplement technical
competence. Make sure you work with a company employing a contract which
specifies both what is offered and what limitations apply. Most
"warranties" offer little coverage. Certified
home inspectors's resume.
