Foreclosed homes offer the possibility of getting a great property at a rock bottom price. However, you can never be certain of how the previous owners cared for the house or problems that surface while it is unoccupied. Hiring a professional foreclosed home inspector will give you the information you need to find a great deal or avoid a financial mistake.
When banks and real estate companies repossess a property, they are usually trying to sell it “as is”. This arrangement means they won’t be putting money into repairs or even giving the property a close once-over. They just want it gone as soon as possible.
A certified foreclosure inspection can provide you with critical information about the property’s condition. Knowing the real state of the house will help you avoid buying a money pit. Alternatively, you might take your foreclosed home inspection to the bank or real estate office and ask for a deep discount.
At Dobson Inspection Service, we want you to enter every real estate transaction with your eyes wide open. Our experience on the East Florida coast has taught us what to look for when investigating the safety and overall condition of a property. Bank-owned property inspections have saved many real estate investors from making a choice they regret.
Most banks and real estate companies want to invest as little as possible in foreclosed homes. Buildings that do not receive regular care can have many issues. During a comprehensive foreclosure inspection, we look for anything that a buyer may need to address after the closing, such as:
Cutting corners is a big issue when assessing foreclosed properties. Former owners trying to save money or real estate agencies trying to spruce the place up will take shortcuts on essential repairs. DIY hacks won’t cut it with foundational elements if you are trying to resell the property, and we don’t want you to be unprepared for the cost of professional repairs.
No one wants to wait around when foreclosure auctions are on the line. Our services are fast, thorough, and backed by our years of expertise. We offer REO inspections in the Palm Coast and Daytona Beach areas. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Scheduling a foreclosure inspection allows you to get an accurate sense of a bank-owned property’s condition before you invest your money. While foreclosed homes can seem like a great deal, they can also have hidden problems that will cost you a great deal of money.
The foreclosed home inspector will look at every major system in the property and assess its condition. A standard inspection includes an examination of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems as well as the condition of the roof and foundation.
At the end of the inspection, you will receive a full report of the findings. If you know about needed repairs, you can use them to negotiate a better price with the real estate office or bank.
Foreclosed homes tend to move quickly, so you will want to schedule your inspection as soon as you have a property you are interested in.
The cost of the inspection depends on the size and amenities of the property. Extra amenities like pools and spas have an additional inspection charge. We can provide you with a clear price once we know more about the home.
