Pre-Listing Inspection
When you’ve made the decision to sell your home it only makes sense to place yourself in the best position possible. A pre-listing inspection may alert you to repairs that could affect an offer to purchase or disrupt negotiations. Knowing what the issues are before you list your home allows you the opportunity to conduct repairs at your own pace instead of being rushed by the home purchasing process or possibly losing the sale.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
After you find the home of your dreams you will need someone to help you identify defects or problems that may not be immediately identifiable to the untrained person. Having a home inspection conducted by a qualified, professionally trained inspector can be a home buyer’s best defense against finding out about issues after you move into your home. It is also an opportunity to walk through the home with the inspector and gain a greater understanding of the house and its systems.
Radon Test
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in your home. It is invisible, odorless and tasteless requiring specialized equipment to detect. Its presence is the second largest cause of lung cancer in the US, second only to smoking. The EPA reports radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths a year and is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. A simple, non-invasive test can provide you with the information needed to determine if a mitigation system is suggested.
