Post-Settlement Assessment — The Solution for an 'Uninspected' Home
The PSA is a streamlined home assessment designed to empower new home buyers with critical details concerning their newly purchased home
Here’s a quick synopsis of the various areas, systems, and mechanicals that will be included in this post-settlement assessment
Have you recently purchased a home without having the ability to have it inspected?
If yes, you’re not alone. But that doesn’t mean you missed out on the opportunity to have your new home evaluated by a qualified professional who can provide you with a thorough evaluation and education of your new home.
Current housing market conditions are unprecedented. Navigating this new world has been very challenging for many. While it’s encouraging to see such strong activity in the real estate marketplace, it has been discouraging to observe the current trend of buyers being forced into the uncomfortable position of having to waive inspections.
It’s human nature to have the best intention to do an inspection after closing, but when new carpeting, new appliances, new lawnmower, new furniture, painting a room, installing updated window dressings, and the many other cosmetic improvements and updating options available, there’s rarely anything left to put towards a home inspection.
And a typical home inspection, although valuable, can be overwhelming and intimidating. Let alone, rather expensive.
If you can see the value in having a professional home inspector offer a consultative post-settlement assessment to help you get a better understanding of the home, with a primary focus of the more critical areas of the home, without extensive tedious details that aren’t of high significance, we have a unique service offering for you…
