Amateur Workmanship. When something looks like an amateur did it, that means an amateur did it, even if perpetrator was paid for his work! When amateurs do things, materials are often improper for intended purpose or of poor quality. Many times they are both. Seldom are proper permits pulled or inspections performed when work is performed by amateurs. Amateur work is also difficult to maintain. Amateur work and people who perform it always complicate a closing. Wood Rot. Closing contracts sure would be simpler without wood rot. It sure would be nice to see a home listed that said "clear WDO on file". Consider doing WDO inspection at time of listing to greatly reduce greatest challenge in Florida real estate. The act of selling real estate can be made simpler, more enjoyable, and more profitable by educating buyers and sellers about preventative maintenance. Spring is a time of renewal - renew your interest in home care and take a few simple steps to keep safe, comfortable, and ready for some summer sun! Copyright © Florida HomePro, Inc. and Wallace J.

Ask when report will be delivered. Often buying decision is time critical, you want to be sure you will receive your completed report in time to read, review, and respond. The best companies can deliver report to you right at home as inspection is completed. Does completed report include photographs? Often report will contain descriptions of damage or defect in locations of home that only inspector was able to access, like rooftops or crawl spaces. You will want pictures of these areas to make your understanding of scope and location of damage clear. It also makes repairs simpler to get estimated when a photograph is available. Lastly, be sure to attend home inspection, watch process, and ask lots of questions - history of your home will unfold before your very eyes! St. Johns County, as well as rest of our beautiful area, is rich in homes and heritage, and your home inspector can help you to know past and enjoy future in your new home.
