It happened to me.....
If you are the seller...you are full of pride about your house, your little abode that you have lived and loved. But as the seller, you now must expose your little abode to the dreaded "house inspection" process. You look things over.... All looks good and you think "whatever they find, heck I'll just fix it and we are good". But sometimes.....that isn't how it goes.
And it is no small gut punch to read one of these reports that shows in red that you've been a poor steward of your little abode.
The report I received from Welcome Home House Inspection [as the seller] was a serious review of everything ... nuts to bolts.... And I realized several things - after I took a deep breath and gathered my better senses.
First, I wished I had found them.
Second, I wished I had hired them to do a pre-sale inspection. Why? Because their inspection was comprehensive, clear and personable. I did not necessarily feel indicted that my home systems were not squeaky clean and perfect in every way possible. But rather, their commentary gave me reason and content about why and how to make corrections....and that was valuable.
Third, they saw the big and small picture and if I had had the report (before the sales process started), I could have checked off the smaller things making sure those were attended to and then had ample time and attention to address the bigger issues ... those that needed professionals. But waiting to address those kinds of things against a closing date makes for more stress than necessary.
I have to say that both Heath and Becky took many of my calls asking their help to get more information or to answer my questions and at no time did they make me feel that they could not accommodate me even though I was not their client. They are true professionals.
If I ever buy or sell a home again....they are the go-to team for a bombproof inspection.
And they are a pleasure to work with....
