Selling Your Home? – It’s a Consultation!

At Homestead Report, we offer more than just a home inspection. Mr. John Ward, owner of Homestead Report Home Inspection, will conduct a walkthrough of a property and point out issues that may need to be repaired and or addressed BEFORE a house goes on the market. This “consultation” is a verbal and visual evaluation of the condition of most major components of a property. All homes have a few minor aging issues and some may have major issues that could potentially become a detriment when trying to get the maximum money for your home.

Experience You Can Trust!
With two decades of home inspection experience, our inspectors will provide you with the best home consultation services. Don’t let minor repairs create major bargaining issues during the sale of your home. Knowing in advance any major issues will allow the seller to have estimated repair costs in hand during negotiations.

During your inspection, our inspectors will do our best to answer these basic questions. These questions are highly relevant to every home purchase or sale.

  1. Does the dwelling have a history of seepage, dampness, and or water penetration into the basement and/or crawl space, if so please explain? Has a sump pump ever been installed used in the basement/crawl space?  Do you use any type of dehumidification in any part of the dwelling?  In addition are you aware of any mold and/or air quality issues in the dwelling
  2. Is the dwelling is on public or private sewage system? If the waste system is private has a Title V inspection been completed?  If so, is the completed Title V report available for review?
  3. Has the dwelling been inspected for and/or treated for insect infestation? If so when and what were the chemicals used?
  4. Are there any asbestos products in the dwelling and/or on the property?
  5. Has the dwelling ever been tested for radon gas and/or lead paint? If so, when and what were the results?
  6. Has the dwelling been previously inspected by a home inspector? If so, when?
    • Were any problems noted?
    • Is a copy of the inspection report available?
  7.  Are the Seller and or the Seller’s Representative aware of any structural, mechanical, electrical or other defects that may exist on the property?
  8. Has there ever been a fire in the dwelling, if so when and what areas were involved what chemical cleaners, if any were used for cleanup?
  9. Has there ever been a hazardous waste spill on the property?
  10. Is there an underground storage tank on the property?

Testimonials

“I haven’t used a Home Inspector except when my wife have bought houses, but now that my house is nearly 20 years old we felt it was time for a “tune up” inspection – see how things are holding up and what needs to get done in order to prevent a large problem. John was extremely responsive to us, and showed up exactly when he said that he would. He did a very thorough job and was careful to make sure my wife knew exactly what he was pointing out and what the issues were. I am extremely impressed with John and his work, and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs a Home Inspector in the future.
Thanks so much John!”

“Good morning John –
Thank you very much for this and your GREAT service!
My wife said that you were wonderful and what you gave us was exactly what we were looking for – catch problems before they get too far/bad.
Thanks again and have a GREAT Sunday!”

Brian
