Home Inspection. Did you know that 95% of home buyers request inspections on the home they are wanting to buy? Do you know what the buyers want inspections on?
In Wyoming, general home inspectors need not be licensed, but there are several that do have accreditation’s. Buyers can also schedule individual inspections by licensed professionals such as plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, roof, structural, air quality, radon, termite, etc. You will be given at least 24 hours notice and most agents do try to schedule all of these inspections to happen at once within a short time window. Sometimes after the initial inspections, the buyers may do a few more specific inspections to focus on areas they see as potential problems.
Once home inspections are complete, the buyer submits an objection addendum to ask the seller to complete repairs before closing. When doing so, the seller is provided with the home inspection report, which will contain many items from very minor to the most important.
Now, the home inspector will find issues with every house, so don’t be alarmed if the inspection report is 30 to 50 pages long. Some are even longer. If it’s a 30-year-old home the inspector will find items that are not per code, but were within code at the time it was built. The seller will have time to review these objections and supporting reports and can decide whether they’ll complete some, all, or none of the requested repairs. This is another negotiation point in the process.
As an experienced agent, we will guide you through these decisions. Many times, once an area of concern has been brought to the seller’s attention, the item will need to be disclosed, and sometimes even needs to be repaired prior to closing, whether with this buyer or later with another. We want to set you up with selling success.
