Ocean City Real Estate Tips: Always be present at the Home Inspection!

 

On the day of the inspection, the Skilled Home Inspector, the Eager Buyers, the Dutiful Buyer's Agent, and I (the Seller's Agent) were present during the home inspection.  There were some unique systems and equipment in the property and some of it needed explanation and guidance. The information that one of the sellers shared with me during THE PRIOR DAY OF THE HOME INSPECTION - proved very helpful to the incoming buyers. 

 

Additionally, the buyer's agent needed to leave earlier than the home inspection's completion, as he had another appointment to attend. He did not anticipate that the home inspection would require a full 3.5 hours to complete (a typical home inspection is 2-2.5 hours in length).

 

During the home inspection, the buyers were very thorough, had many questions, and some of the questions were not known by the home inspector. At the end of the inspection, they were all very grateful for my attendance and my knowledge of the home and it's systems & features.  I believe that most (if not all) of the buyers' questions were answered, and they will have a better awareness of this home when it transfers to them and they are the new proud owners on settlement day.
