Home inspections are a critical component of the buying process. A professional inspection company streamlines the process and provides buyers necessary support as they make one of the biggest purchases of their lives.
The average whole house inspection price provided by HomeTeam Inspection Service is $442, which can vary depending on your location and the size of the home. This fee, typically incurred by the buyer, is an important step in the homebuying process.
Usually, the buyer is responsible for the cost of the home inspection because it is considered to be a critical aspect of the buyer doing their due diligence before proceeding in the purchasing process. However, there are times that sellers will choose to purchase a home inspection to perform a pre-listing inspection in an effort to have an opportunity to resolve any potential issues within the home before they are brought to buyers’ attention.
Many REALTOR®s have recommended home inspectors that they have worked with before. It is critical to ensure that the person or company conducting the inspection is professional, thorough and trusted by real estate professionals.
“The home inspection is a crucial part of the home buying process, and buyers should make sure they’re working with a trusted provider,” explained Adam Long, president of HomeTeam Inspection Service. “At HomeTeam, our inspections are thorough, and our team of inspectors streamline the process for our clients. We understand that purchasing a home is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, and we’re here to support you in any way we can.”
It is best to begin scheduling the home inspection as soon as an offer is accepted. Because the purchase price is not set in stone until closing, ensuring a home inspection is done early on provides the time and information necessary to negotiate any contingencies of the sale prior to closing day.
HomeTeam has a One Call Does It All® scheduling approach that allows anyone seeking an inspection to communicate their needs and get any and all scheduling done in a timely manner. Though the majority of buyers are seeking traditional home inspections, HomeTeam also offers pre-listing inspections, radon testing, water quality evaluations, new construction inspections and more. Rather than requiring separate inquiries and scheduling for any supplemental evaluations, the HomeTeam representatives schedule everything right away.
While the home inspection may seem like an intimidating or costly aspect of the homebuying process, it is key to remember that an investment of — typically — less than $500 unlocks access to professional inspectors who will evaluate the home with a keen eye, pointing out discrepancies that, left unaddressed, have the potential to cause serious financial, health and wellness concerns for residents in the future.
