Seller’s Pre-sale Inspection

“Why should I spend the money?  Let the buyer pay for their own home inspection”

 A pre-listing or pre-sale home inspection can help smooth the selling process and help you sell your home faster.

 A pre-listing or pre-sale home inspection, unlike a pre-purchase inspection, is done on behalf of the seller. We evaluate both obvious and hidden problems and make recommendations.  We can often present alternatives i.e. temporary fix, permanent repair, replacement.  Since you have the option to correct or disclose deficiencies you and your Realtor® can make the best decision for your situation and set the asking price accordingly. 

 If you decide to repair or replace you’ll have time to shop for the best price and terms.  If defects or deficiencies are discovered by the buyer’s inspector you may be pressured into most expensive correction without time to shop for the best price. 

 There are even less welcome possibilities:  A buyer want a price concession that exceeds the value of the repair or worse, may react emotionally and not make an offer!  If you wait for the buyer's inspector to inform them, you will either have to fix it, lower the price, or worst of all, the deal could be lost.

 A pre-listing or pre-sale home inspection is not meant to be used in lieu of a buyer obtaining their own traditional independent home inspection.  It’s meant to reduce the number of items which could be reported on, thereby bettering your chances to sell your home faster. Buyers are sometimes hard to come by and the longer a property remains on the market, the less attractive it becomes at the listed price.

A pre-listing or pre-sale home inspection can help smooth the selling process and help you sell your home faster.  For 25 years Lifespace Corporation has been conducting pre-purchase home inspections and over the last 10 years we’ve developed and refined our proprietary pre-listing and pre-sale inspection and reporting protocol.  With university degrees in architecture and engineering, inspection industry training and 25 years residential and commercial inspection experience, Edward Devine is well prepared to work in your best interest.  Call him today at (585) 738-5080.

Realtors® are recommending seller’s inspections and leading print and online publications note the recent rise in pre-sale inspections. 

Call Edward Devine at 585-738-5080 to schedule an A Tech ® A Team ®  seller’s inspection. 

 

 

VA HOMEBUYER'S NEWS
by Edward Devine
 

RESTORATION OF VA LOAN ENTITLEMENT

If you’re a veteran who has already taken advantage of a VA home loan through the Department of Veterans Affairs, you already know what a wonderful choice participating in the program can be.  From low interest rates to reduced credit requirements and even a zero-down payment option, a VA loan can be a good alternative to more restrictive loan programs and can often be the best, or even only, way many veterans can own a home.  

However, one aspect of home loans that many people are not aware of is the ability to restore a previous entitlement and purchase another home with another VA loan.  

If you’re a veteran who has used a VA loan in the past to purchase a home, you may qualify for restoration of entitlement if: 

The property you purchased with a VA loan has been sold and the loan has been paid in full.
                                              - or -
You’re selling your property to another veteran and he or she agrees to assume the VA loan, basically substituting his or her entitlement for yours.  

Veterans are also able to obtain more money from their entitlement if they purchased a home with a VA home loan years ago when the entitlement value was lower.  If the loan has since been paid in full, the veteran is eligible to receive the full entitlement again or, if the loan is not paid off, he or she can receive the difference between the current entitlement and the entitlement that’s already been used to purchase a home.  

Additionally, the program is now designed to offer additional entitlements on loan values greater than $144,000, so should the veteran choose to purchase a home and get a loan value that exceeds $144,000, there are even more funds available to them should they choose to take advantage of them.  

Veterans who are affected by restoration of entitlement should be aware that restoration can only take place once (meaning that the entitlement can be used a total of two times).  Check with your lender or with the Department of Veterans Affairs if you’re considering utilizing your restoration of entitlement to ensure that you do in fact qualify for restoration and to get the exact dollar figure of your new entitlement. For general information on entitlements or on VA home loans, please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website at  www.va.gov

 

 

ONLY A Team Network®  INSPECTION FIRMS OFFER A LIFETIME RADON DETECTOR FOR LESS THAN RETAIL COST WHEN YOU PURCHASE HOME INSPECTION SERVICES

The Digital Radon Detector plugs into any standard electrical outlet after you move into your new home.  Since geology is dynamic and radon levels often change over time, a house that's safe today is not necessarily safe tomorrow.  EPA recommends periodic radon testing - this is CONTINUOUS radon testing.  Everyday you can read the radon level on an LCD screen and know your family is safe!

Granite Kitchen Countertops

There has been some media attention about granite countertops and whether your home inspector should test them to determine if they can increase indoor radon levels.  There is only one Rochester New York area firm that is equipped to test granite countertops for radon and they have reported that there is almost no demand for testing. 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon1.com and Radon Zone all recommend that you periodically use readily available and easy to use short term or long term radon tests and monitor the concentration of radon in the air of your home.  We know that radon enters a home from the soil around the foundation, and radon can also enter your home from outdoor air and through water faucets and showers from well water or public water and also from building products.

With the increased use of granite countertops many home inspectors report that there is concern as to how much radon might “outgas” from this popular building material. The fact is that granite like other building materials can contain trace amounts of radon gas, but if your countertop emits a small amount of radon into the air it probably won't present a hazard.  

A better use of your money is testing the indoor air for radon with do-it-yourself test kits and/or install an electronic radon detector in your home.  Radon concentrations can vary from day to day and an electronic detector has an LED readout so that you can know the radon level in your home every day, and an audible alarm if radon concentrates to dangerous levels.  For more information go to radon1.com
