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.
