FOR THE BUYER

RESIDENTIAL HOME INSPECTION

What is a residential home inspection?

A residential home inspection includes a visual assessment of a home’s accessible structures and components. During the inspection, MD Home Inspect, LLC will make careful note of any major or minor issues, documenting them with photos and, if necessary, video. The findings will be compiled in an inspection report, delivered to you digitally within 24 hours of inspection. We encourage you to join me, Joseph during your appointment so that I can answer any questions and also familiarize you with your new home, providing maintenance suggestions along the way.

How can a buyer use a residential home inspection to save money on the purchase of their home?

  • You can gain a better understanding of the home’s condition, allowing you to offer or negotiate a fair price.
  • You can protect yourself from costly surprises down the road if you know about defects sooner rather than later.
  • You can ask the seller to pay to repair the defects you indicate in the repair addendum to your inspection.
  • You can use the defects indicated in the inspection report as leverage to negotiate a lower sale price.

FOR THE SELLER

PRE-LISTING INSPECTION

What is a pre-listing inspection?

A pre-listing inspection from MD Home Inspect, LLC is just like our standard home inspection, except that the seller is the client, so the seller receives the inspection report before the house goes on the market.

How can a seller use a pre-listing inspection to make more money on the sale of their home?

  • By disclosing issues upfront, the seller can make it known that consideration for issues has already been factored into the sales price. That effectively takes those items off the negotiation table. Doing this preemptively saves time, hassle and money and reduces the chance that a deal will fall apart because of the home inspection.
  • The seller can opt to repair issues herself giving her more time and control over how things get fixed and how much money is spent in doing so. Waiting for buyers to ask for repairs could put the seller in a position where they have a very limited amount of time to fix items and end up having to pay a premium.
  • When a sale goes through on the first try with the first buyer, the outcome is almost always best for the seller. Seller inspections keep you from having to go back on the market with a price reduction. With buyers being so scarce, that’s not the ideal position for sellers to be in.
  • You can choose the most cost-effective contractor to make repairs before the buyer gets involved.
  • You can leave the repair work to the buyer but present the buyer with quotes from local contractors. Otherwise, buyers tend to inflate the estimated cost of repair work, offering, for example $4,000 under the list price because of repairs that could be made for $2,000.
  • You can make buyers feel comfortable making an offer or bidding high in a bidding war. Presenting them with an inspection report at the outset will increase their confidence in the home’s value.

4-Point Inspection

If you are purchasing homeowners insurance, your insurance company may require a 4-point inspection. This type of inspection covers only these four major systems: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roof. Although this type of inspection will satisfy an insurance company, it is not recommended to buyers as a substitute for our standard residential home inspection.

Virginia Fairfax Home Inspections Re Inspection

Virginia Fairfax Home Inspections Radon Testing

Radon Testing

The odorless, invisible gas radon can turn up in any home anywhere in the U.S. It’s smart to test for this cancer-causing gas before moving into a new residence or to make sure your family is safe in your current home. MD Home inspect, LLC can determine if radon levels in your home are unsafe. If they are, fixing the problem is easy and potentially lifesaving. Mitigation measures will be recommended.

Virginia Fairfax Home Inspections Water Testing

Water Testing

There are many different reasons you might choose to have your water tested, including old plumbing that contains lead, recurrent health issues, or the water having a strange color or smell. Of course, you may just want extra peace of mind when you are purchasing a new house. MD Home Inspect, LLC will test your drinking water for contaminants. This is especially important if your home relies on a private well.
