Home Inspections Beyond the Sale: Protect Your Investment By Taking the Time to Take a Good Look

May 20, 2011 - PRLog -- When was the last time you allowed a professional to take a good look at your home?

Savvy consumers understand the value of protecting your investments. Systems and structures can begin to breakdown, weaken or misfire. Anyone over 40 can attest to that! Many malfunctions happen over the course of time and periodic inspection can regain solid performance. Not only for physical selves, but for the family pets, the cars we depend on and the electronics that keep us entertained regular inspection and maintenance offers protection to our investments.

So why not take the time to give you the same heads up information on your home, quite possibly your largest investment, by arranging for a professional home inspection. Inspections are routinely done when the ownership of a home transfers. The new family moves in and goes about making it theirs. But just like those aging knees that begin to buckle, the computer that runs out of RAM, your home can begin to have some growing pains that can be detected through inspection.

Norcon Home Services of St. Paul has offered a reliable and quality home inspection service for over 17 years in the twin cities area. Norcon Home Services inspectors offer interNACHI certified home inspections. The inspection addresses the grade and drainage, steps, decks and porches, foundation, exterior and interior structure, roof structure and covering, exterior wall cladding, interior walls and ceilings, first floor system, columns and beams, windows and doors, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems. The owner is welcome to join the inspector throughout, and a comprehensive report is completed following the inspection.

•  a current home inspection can not only protect your investment by alerting you to sagging systems and structures, but can also protect your health by detecting exposures that may exist. Inspections can also be used to prepare your home for future sale insuring top dollar by providing:

•  information about the root of the thumps and bumps you hear during the night avoiding the chance that you will go through several costly trial through error repairs.

•  comfort and motivation to prospective buyers putting together a bid knowing that there won’t be major surprises if /when they conduct their own inspection.

•  you with time to weigh your options knowing pre-sale the repairs that may be needed, you can decide to fix them or to store that knowledge for negotiations.

•  help in determining the selling price by giving the owner the time to quote shop and consider those quotes in the process.

Owning a home is probably the biggest financial commitment you will make. Be informed so you can take the best care of your home and your investment.  Visit Norcon Home Services at http://norconhomes.com/home-inspections for more information or contact Doug Hoppe directly at 651-238-6751.
