Seller’s Pre-sale Inspection

Realtors^® are recommending seller’s inspections and leading print and online publications note the recent rise in pre-sale inspections.  This type of inspection provides sellers with information to prepare a house for sale, shop for the best price to correct any deficiencies, avoid price concessions and closing delays.  While this is a relatively new trend, Lifespace Corporation has provided this service in the greater Rochester New York area for homes costing over $500,000 for years and we now offer this service for homes in every price range.  This specialty inspection may be even more critical for lower price homes where sellers are less able to absorb repair costs and price reductions.  If defects are found you can decide in advance how to address the problem which could mean disclosing the problem and leaving it for the seller to repair, or if you're going to fix it you have time to find the least expensive repair option and shop for the best price.  We continue to offer quality homebuyer inspections but have over time carefully developed a specific inspection protocol so that your Lifespace Corporation home inspector can effectively and efficiently address the special requirements of, and in the best interest of sellers which ultimately benefits buyers as well since repairs are made before they buy or they have exact information on how they can correct the problem after moving in.  Seller's Pre-sale Inspection is a win-win purchase/sale service.  Call Edward Devine at 585-738-5080 to schedule a seller’s inspection.       

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 and there is now at least one Rochester New York area firm that is equipped to test granite countertops for radon. 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon1.com and RadonZone 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, 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 at least trace amounts of radon gas.  If your countertop emits a small amount of radon into the air it probably won't present a hazard.  If you are still concerned there are ways to test granite countertops for radon
