Smart Sacramento Homeowners Rely On James Budrow.

If you booked a home inspection from James Budrow for your new Sacramento home and requested the suggested repairs outlined in the inspection report, you eliminated loads of stress. But can you trust that the seller had each and every repair completed to your satisfaction?

A Verification of Repairs (VOR) Inspection from James Budrow is the final step in assuring your new home is move-in ready. To order a VOR, make a list of repairs that were requested based on the initial home inspection report. When the seller gives notice that the repairs have been completed, James will check every item on the list and prepare a report for you to review prior to the close of escrow.

Ordering the initial James Budrow homebuyer’s inspection is the first step. But don’t stop halfway. Order a VOR from James Budrow and seal the deal with confidence.

However, there are many homebuyers who regret NOT ordering an inspection.

Some were trying to save a few bucks. Some examined the home themselves and thought everything was in order. Some were competing with other buyers and wanted to place their offer without delay.

None of these are good reasons to forego a James Budrow home inspection! The cost of a thorough Sacramento home inspection by one of James Budrow’s certified Sacramento home inspectors is miniscule compared to the cost of, say, roofing a house or repairing damage due to basement flooding. I have never heard a homebuyer say, “I had my home inspected but wish I hadn’t”.

If you are in the market for a new Roseville home or Folsom condo, avoid buyer’s remorse with a James Budrow home inspection.

Our certified home inspectors have uncovered countless problems when inspecting both old and new Roseville homes. If you are considering the purchase of a Sacramento home, make sure you have a California home inspection completed prior to submitting an offer.

Following are some tips:

Sacramento homes built on a sloping lot have a higher rate of structural defects.

You should be especially careful if there was an addition completed several years ago. They are often poorly constructed. Before you commit to buy a house that requires a re-do on an existing addition, find out if it is already too close to the property line. You will be unable to get a permit for the remodel.

Attic and basement rooms are often haphazardly finished by the do-it-yourselfer homeowner. Too-low ceilings, poorly built stairs and insufficient ventilation are common problems.

If a home needs a seismic retrofit (reinforcement to make the home more stable during earthquakes) do some research on the cost.

If you still want to buy the house, the best way to assure the repairs will be completed is to require the seller to leave enough money in escrow to cover the repair expenses. You will have to negotiate with the seller to determine the amount of money necessary. If you get several bids from Sacramento contractors, you will be able to come up with a fair price.

This method has several advantages:

1. The seller pays for the repairs
2. You decide which Roseville or Folsom contractor does the repairs
3. You and the seller can sign the sales contract without delay.

Another way to handle this situation is referred to as a repair credit. The seller lowers the price of the Sacramento home to compensate for the cost of the repairs. Auburn and Roseville area homebuyers should think carefully before choosing this method. After using a significant amount of money on the down payment, many Sacramento homebuyers run out of cash and are unable to foot the cost of the needed repairs.

We provide California home inspection services for Sacramento homebuyers. If you are in the market for a Sacramento home, call 1-877-424-8289 to book an inspection.

For Sacramento Home Buyers
Some California home buyers have been advised to choose a home, make an offer, start shopping for a lender and then order a home inspection. Smart Sacramento home buyers order an inspection first thing. Why? If an inspection is ordered after a mortgage has been secured and expensive problems are discovered, the lender may withdraw the financing. If the buyer decides the problems are deal-breakers, he or she can abandon the process early and move on. Call James Budrow at 1-877-424-8289 to order a pre-offer inspection.

For Sacramento Home Sellers
Roseville home sellers who have their home inspected before listing are better able to ready the home for selling. Though the details vary from state to state, sellers are required by law to thoroughly disclose the condition of the home. It is better for the Auburn home seller to know about problems early in the sales process. The seller can then resolve the issues in the manner they choose.

In a slow market, Folsom home buyers have numerous choices. They are in a position to hold out until the home’s condition meets their expectations. With a pre-listing home inspection from James Budrow, the Auburn home seller prevents prolonged late-hour negotiations that result from surprises uncovered in a buyer’s home inspection report.
