When to Hire a Home Inspector Central Point OR

This past spring 78% of homeowners contracts were settled, as reported by the REALTORS® Confidence Index. The reason for the majority of the remaining 22% declined settlements, were a result of the home inspection. A home inspector serves a vital importance to the overall wellbeing and safety of your home. Most contracts involve a homeowners clause which will ensure you are getting your money’s worth. The following are our recommendations for how to go about the home inspector Central Point OR process:

1. Seller and buyer agree on terms of sale: After much negotiation on both party’s ends, the two sides agree on the terms of sale as well as initial offer. The offer is then officially accepted by the seller.

2. Contract: The contract of sale is then prepared by the seller’s attorney and sent to the purchaser’s attorney for review.

3. The home inspector is hired: At this point during the buying and selling process, an Oregon Home Inspector should be hired.

4. Contract signed: After the home inspection is complete and all issues with regards to the home are negotiated, the purchaser meets with the attorney and signs the contract. They then put not an “earnest money deposit.”
