Texas Home Inspection...

"Are You Buying A Safe, Sound, Secure Home Or
Are You Buying A Money Pit?"

You need to know!

But first, allow me to congratulate you on your new home purchase. Buying a home is often the largest purchase a person will make in their entire lifetime. It's a very exciting time and I would imagine that you are very anxious to finish the process and get moved into your new home and on with your life.

Your life has probably been pretty crazy lately with all the house hunting, paperwork, dealing with the banks, mortgage companies and the real estate people. It's enough to make you start pulling your hair out. It can be downright stressful.

As a home inspector I work with home buyers all the time. I understand what you've been through to find and get the right home for you. But I have to ask you this important question - With all the effort you've been through to get your home, don't you want to be sure that the home you're buying is safe, sound, and secure for you and your family?

The reason I ask is because I have met home buyers that did not take the time or spend the few extra dollars to get their home inspected before they moved in. They were just like you - excited about their new home... dreaming about what life will be like in their new home... and ready to get past the stress, move in and move on with their life.

Worse yet, some of them did get a home inspection but chose the wrong inspector. They thought all home inspections were the same. They didn't realize that the quality of home inspectors varies greatly.

Then, after they moved in, they realized they bought a money pit. The fun and excitement of their new home ended quickly when they found they had to spend money, sometimes lots of money, to fix defects and safety issues they were not aware of.

Repairs Are Costly

Once you go to closing, the house is yours and any you'll have to pay for any repairs that are needed. Whether the repairs are just a few minor issues, a lot of little issues or a major repair, it's still your money that will be spent to fix them.

Issues are found during a home inspection on almost all homes - both new and existing homes.

A minor issue may be something like a notation in your report that the caulk around the master tub should be replaced. It doesn't affect your decision about buying the home. But by knowing this, you can take care of the issue after you move in. This would save you from costly repairs in the future if the issue was left unfixed and led to water damaging the underlying materials around the tub.

A major issue could be your inspector finding evidence of a roof leak when he inspects your attic. You probably didn't go crawling around in the attic space when you looked at the home. Issues like this can lead to thousands of dollars in repair costs that can create a financial heartache after you're in your new home.

I could tell you horror stories all day about the issues I see during home inspections in the Dallas area. Without having a home inspected you have absolutely no idea what issues that home may have. A home inspection provides you knowledge and leverage to negotiate repairs or purchase price if necessary.

Reduce Your Risk

Without a home inspection you're rolling the dice and risking buying a home that may need a lot of repairs that you did not expect. A home inspection is a very inexpensive investment especially when compared to how costly repairs will be. You're not saving any money by not getting a home inspection.

The only way that you're going to know what issues exist with the home you're buying is to have the house inspected by a full-time licensed home inspector. A good home inspector is your best protection from buying a home that could harm your financial security. It's your way of knowing if you're buying a safe, sound, and secure home for your family. It provides you peace of mind.

Home and Garden TV (HGTV) has a list of the top 25 "biggest real estate mistakes we all make". Not getting a professional home inspection done was # 5 on that list.

You are making one of the largest investments in your lifetime. You don't want to take a chance that the home you're buying is safe and sound just to save a few dollars.

Who's Looking Out For Your Interests?

There are many people involved in every real estate transaction. Ask yourself... which of those people are really looking out for you and your interests?

The real estate agent wants to make sure that the deal goes through. They work with the seller and the buyer to make things go as smoothly as possible. Their job is to show the house and sell it. They are not trained to look for and spot problems or potential problems with the home.

An appraiser is looking out for the financial interests of the lender. An appraisal has nothing to do with the safety or any hidden conditions of the home. It only has to do with the estimated value of the home at that particular time.

The seller wants to make the home as attractive as possible. They want to attract buyers. They want the house to look as good as possible. They may not even be aware of issues with the home. Most home owners don't crawl around the attic, get on the roof and scour the crawlspace looking for issues before selling their home.

Who do you have standing in your corner to make sure that you're not buying a money pit? As your home inspector I work for you. I am there to look after your interests and to make sure your home is safe. The simple fact is that I am there to protect you and give you peace of mind.

Don't get me wrong. Not all homes are in bad condition or unsafe. The problem is that there is no way to know which ones have issues or how big those issues are without a home inspection.

How To Choose A Good Home Inspector

Experience is key to becoming a good home inspector. Years of going through homes and looking for issues develops the inspector's ability to spot potential problems.

Being a full-time inspector is important too. Working as a full-time inspector provides the inspector the opportunity to develop his experience. It also keeps his problem-spotting skills sharp. Since home inspections are his business, he'll be focused on providing a thorough and professional home inspection.

This is a busy time for you. And you have a limited amount of time before closing. So it's important that you choose an inspector who will provide your inspection report on-site, at the time of the inspection. This way you won't loose precious time waiting for your report.

Make sure that the home inspector you choose is licensed by the State of Texas to perform home inspections.

Let Dallas Home Inspection Solutions Be Your Guide...

My name is Cliff Willis and as you can probably tell by now, I think having a home inspection is a very important part of the home buying process.

I started inspecting homes full-time in 1999. With all those years of performing hundreds of home inspections each year I can assure you that you will receive a home inspection from an inspector with lots of experience. This experience pays off for you by having an inspector that can spot problems and potential problems in the home you're buying.

You are welcome to walk through the home with me during the inspection. In fact, I encourage you to attend the inspection. This will give you a chance to learn about the condition of your home. You can get answers to any questions that you may have about the home. And during the inspection process I will provide you valuable information about maintaining your home. This can save you valuable money during the time you own the home and help you to avoid costly repairs in the future.

You will receive your thorough inspection report on-site, after the inspection is completed. You can also receive your report by email if you'd like. The comprehensive report will give you leverage with the seller to make repairs or renegotiate the price of a home, if appropriate. The report will also include pictures of issues that are discovered.
