Investor Property Inspections

Includes Multi-Unit Housing

Investor property inspections are performed prior to purchase as well as periodically during ownership. Pre-purchase inspections are performed to identify defects prior to taking ownership to negotiate repairs or price adjustments which reflect the condition of the property. Periodic inspections for properties currently in your portfolio would ensure the identification of needed repairs following say a long term tenant's departure. Long-term tenants sometimes neglect to mention repairs and/or abuse the property during their tenancy. Identifying those problems early is the key to profitable ownership.

We also inspect your rental properties to report on conditions of the home/unit and what repairs may need to be performed after a tenant leaves and prior to putting it on the market again.

Seller Home Inspections (Pre-Listing Inspections)

Listing inspections are very good for the homeowner who may not be in tune with the condition of their home. A great many sales are cancelled due to the buyer's shock at the "functional condition" of the home. It may look great, but have serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the owner's knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to placing on the market is the ideal way to identify and either repair or disclose the issue found in the Inspection Report. Obviously, repairing the items would be the most beneficial towards completing the sale. However, there may be financial reasons where the owner can't make the repairs. Disclosing them up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sales price for the owner.

Inspect before you offer Program (Pre-Inspections) 

Pre-Inspections have become a very important part of the home buying process recently. With the high demand for homes in Washington, often you will encounter a multiple offer situation on a home you are interested in. If you would like to know the condition of major components of the home before you get involved with the competition, we will perform a Pre-Offer Consultation for a fee based on square footage. Unlike our competition, we will supply you with bullet point list of issues for reference. You won't have to follow us around with a note pad jotting down what we say.
