This Unique Inspection is designed to provide the Investor/Owner of a property with valuable information about the condition of the property and information to repair or replace items that will typically be found by the Buyer’s Inspector to be “not in normal working order” on a Buyer’s Home Inspection.  This advance and confidential information will give a Investor the opportunity to "fine-tune" the property for purposes of marketing, and minimize common and the unexpected repairs that often accompany the Buyer's inspection.  The reduction, (or often elimination), of the problems involving major repairs as required by the Mortgage Lender, Hazard Insurance Company, or the potential Buyer, can greatly smooth the path to successfully closing the transaction.  This inspection will not substitute for a Buyer’s Home Inspection.  A Buyer may obtain (perform) his/her own Inspection with recommendations for repair not listed herein.

Simple.  When the Investor has a very good idea about the condition of the home and what repair requirements will likely be on the Buyer’s Inspection, then the Investor can market and negotiate will confidence.  The dollar amount that is initially negotiated in the purchase contract between the Buyer and the Investor better represents the transaction and is less likely to change with the Buyer’s Home inspection results.  This breaks down to a sales transaction with fewer problems and greater confidence for all persons involved.  The information in the Investors Inspection gives the Investor a choice of excluding a perceived “problem” from the sales transaction, or repair the “problem” and make it a mute subject in the negotiation and sale of the home.  The Investors Inspection is absolutely confidential (at the decision of the Investor).

Is the Investor automatically required to disclose the Investors Inspection?

No, however some of the items included in the Investors Inspection will likely be listed on the Residential Property Condition Disclosure Statement. If the Investor determines repairs are necessary from the information on the Investors Inspection, then the Investor has time to solicit competitive bids to get a “problem” resolved without the difficulty of a Buyer “looking over the Investor’s shoulder” during the stress of a sales transaction.  It is well known in the industry that repairs required on a Buyer’s Inspection are often more expensive to solve because repair contractors charge higher fees to adjust their schedules to complete repairs before the closing date of a transaction.  The result?  Delayed repairs cost the Investor more money.

 

What  often  Surprises  a  Investor  about  a  Buyer's  Inspection?

The great detail to which a Buyer expects an Inspector to do the job of Inspection!  The Investors inspection is not going to find every minor concern or malfunction that may show up on a Buyers Inspection.  The Investors inspection is designed to identify major problems (if any) and provide the most economical remedy, and not pick the home apart in a negative report.  The major items discovered needing repair or improvement during the transaction are what complicates the sale, not the little stuff!  A Buyer typically has more confidence in the transaction when the Buyer’s inspector finds little new information
