15 Tips to Prepare Your Southern New Jersey Home for an Inspection

15 Things to Prepare Your Home for an Inspection Southern New Jersey home sellers spend a lot of time and money to prepare their home for potential buyers…adding granite countertops, new carpeting and fresh paint – even colorful spring flowers. These efforts help to make your home stand out from the others on the market, but an important and often overlooked step is preparing your home for an eventual home buyer inspection.

We inspect homes throughout Southern New Jersey for a living. Every day our inspectors report many of the same safety, repair and improvement items in our home inspection reports. Items which for lack of a better word clutter the home inspection report and detract from the positive aspects of the home. We believe that many of these problems could have been addressed in advance by the home seller with little effort and minor costs. Most of the items can be done by the home owner, while others may need to be performed by a professional.

Ten Important Questions to Ask Your South Jersey Home Inspector

1. What does your inspection cover?

The inspector should ensure that their inspection and inspection report will meet all applicable requirements in your state if applicable and will comply with a well-recognized standard of practice and code of ethics. You should be able to request and see a copy of these items ahead of time and ask any questions you may have.

Are Client Surveys Important?

Home Inspection Client Survey We think so. We ask each of our clients to tell us about their home inspection experience.

Our surveys are conducted generally a week or two after the home inspection. We ask questions about the ease of scheduling, the professionalism of the inspector and the inspection, and the value of the inspection report. In our most recent survey, clients were asked, "How easy was it to schedule your inspection?" and 94% said it was as easy as taking a "walk in the park."

7 Tips for Home Buying in a Down Economy

young family Buying a home in a "normal” economy is tough enough, but buying in a down market can be particularly daunting. The key to buying a home is identifying your personal financial position, goals and housing needs; however it’s equally important that you know what you’re buying.
