Before You Decide to Hire an Inspector, Keep in Mind These Key Points

 


  • Get a Home Inspector that is certified through a national association such as "International Association of Certified Home Inspectors" or "American Society of Home Inspectors." These require that the Home Inspector completes training and backs up the Inspector with Honor Guarantees and other services. ​


  • Choose an Inspector that is experienced and confident in the Inspection, Construction and Real Estate Industries.  Simply having a State License is the minimum requirement to enter the industry.

​​

  • A Confident Professional Home Inspector will allow you to attend the inspection to observe the work of the Inspector and ask all the questions you may have during the inspection process.

​

  • You Get What You Pay For - Lower priced Inspectors are typically the new Inspectors that are just entering into the Real Estate Inspection Industry or just doing part time inspections on the side. In this industry as well as other professions (Contractors, Plumbers, Electricians) they charge accordingly for Quality, Experience and Professionalism.

​You can rest assured that selecting me for your next home inspection will satisfy these key points.

Pre-Listing Home Inspection

Sellers: Considering a Pre-Listing Home Inspection?

Let’s be honest; the real estate market fluctuates. But no matter what, this will never make a difference when a buyer is ready to purchase a property that is in good condition.  A Sellers Pre-Listing Inspection will make sure there are no hidden surprises and will catch any existing problem before your potential buyer does. You can also provide the report to potential homebuyers to create transparency and trust.  If you think you’re ready to list, let Quasar give you the assurance you need to prepare your property for top asking price. 

Benefits of Getting a Pre-Listing Inspection

  •  Stress Relief – It protects all parties involved by providing transparent information about the property so that educated choices are made.
  • Saves Time – It helps sellers focus on what areas of the home need improving in order to increase appeal and value.
  • Accurate Pricing – If both seller and agent are aware of the state of the home, they can factor in repair costs.
  • Seller Credibility – It makes the seller seem more trustworthy and authentic about the property.
  • Accelerated Sales Process – Buyers will feel a lot more comfortable making an offer on a property that has been inspected.

Maximize Profit

 Usually, the point of selling property is to make a profit. Having a Quasar professional perform an inspection allows you to get the property market-ready in no time. Pre-listing inspections can reduce the possibility of a deal falling through down the road. There’s nothing worse than finding out that the defects found in the property by potential buyers will either get you low offers, or no offers at all.
 

During a pre-listing inspection, your inspector will:

  • Carefully examine the structure
  • Look closely for defects in the property
  • Note any deferred maintenance
  • Assess the longevity of major appliances and systems
  • Evaluate the water heater and A/C unit(s)

11th Month Inspection

Knowing the Importance of the 11th Month Inspection

Although most home warranties offer protection for a full year, it is crucial to have your house inspected by the 11th month of the warranty. This is typically a non-invasive assessment based on the visible condition of the interior and exterior of the structure, including all major systems and components. 


The one-year new home warranty inspection is a guarantee provided by builders for any adjustments, repairs and safety concerns. Unfortunately, homeowners wait too long before calling a third-party inspector to sweep the house for any defect or damage.

What we recommend you should do instead is to call Quasar, before your one-year new home warranty inspection expires.

What is covered in a builder's one year warranty?

Within the first 12 months, your plumbing system and electrical system are covered by the warranty (also builder’s defects). In a year’s time, any damage that can impact on the structure of the house will be repaired at the contractor’s cost. That is, if you can prove that it’s the builder’s fault.

As for the other components, however, the one-year warranty may vary according to company policy. For instance, your appliances will have a different warranty cover compared to your bathtub. This is outside the purview of the builder.

The main reasons to get this type of inspection

Warranties for newly built homes will usually offer coverage on workmanship and materials relating to many components of the property. However, having the knowledge on how to hold builders accountable is never a bad thing.

  • Ultimately, the builder is accountable for remedying issues with your home within
    the first year of construction.
  • The cost of the warranty repairs are included in the purchase
    price of your home. Technically, you’ve already paid for this!
  • The expense of an inspection is substantially less than out-of-pocket costs for potential repairs.

Common issues found during the 11th month inspection

Unfortunately, problems with your home arise as a result of age and normal wear and tear.
Trust us, in a year’s time you will run into some sort of unexpected deficiency that needs attention. The four most common issues discovered during an 11th month home warranty inspection are:

  • SAFETY ISSUES
    Gas and/or water flue pipes that have become detached within walls or the attic.
  • STRUCTURAL ISSUES
    Foundation issues – cracks on walls, ceilings, and floors – or structural members in the attic that have become detached or broken. 
  • ROOF AND GUTTER ISSUES
    Loose and mangled gutters and/or leaking roofs that may lead to water damage and mold.
  • ELECTRICAL ISSUES
    Surges caused by lightning strikes, damage to electrical components, and/or faulty appliances.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late!

  • They help maintain the value of your property.
  • They educate you on how accountable your builder should be.
  • Last but not least, they save you money on costly repairs down the road.
