		<description>Excellent Post on home inspections

What To Expect:  Many New Jersey home buyers sometimes buy their home in New Jersey on impulse. Experianced home inspectors can help home buyers avoid buyers remorse by reporting on home defects and problems before the home buyer finds them after closing.  As professional New Jersey Home inspectors we at  Accurate Inspections,  provide our New Jersey home inspection clients with the tools they need to make an educated choice regarding the quality and condition of their potential new home.  We inspect for common defects and not so common ones. By hiring an experienced NJ Licensed home inspectors who has your best interest solely in mind, our clients are better able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the home in which they are under contract to buy. We will inspect the structure, exterior, drainage, grounds, roof, plumbing, electric, heating, thermostats, ac, interior and fireplace the municipality will inspect the smoke alarms in New Jersey. We will provide New Jersey home maintenance suggestions.

Buyers Benefits: A professional New Jersey home inspection is the best way for potential home buyers to effectively evaluate the risks of a property purchase. A major concern of NJ home buyers is being suddenly confronted with major and costly problems after they take possession of a property. A professional pre-purchase home inspection can reduce anxiety by screening for problems and itemizing them in a comprehensive report. This home inspection report may include approximations of repair costs and recommendations of useful upgrades to the property systems. The general result of a professional home inspection is that property buyers make significantly more informed purchases.

Screening  for Problems: All homes have strong and weak points, they are not always what they seem. Gain the perspective and sound information you need to make better decisions with a home inspection performed by an experienced professional home inspectors. A good home inspectors works through a very long checklist of potential concerns to identify the major and minor deficiencies in the home.   A good report will clearly describe the problems and illustrate them along with the what-to and how-to of repairs. 

Provide Owners Benefits: Home owners who are planning to make improvements to their homes in order to increase its market value would be well advised to have it inspected first. A home inspectors can help prioritize home improvements and offer advice on the best ways to approach repairs. More importantly, an inspectors can help the seller identify potential or undiscovered problems before those problems become material for contract contingencies. By taking a pro-active approach one can avoid the frustrations many owners encounter when they are asked to re-negotiate their contracts because of unanticipated problem areas.

Credentials: Like any other professional,  home inspectors (even those with licenses) have varied degrees of expertise.  All home inspectors should be carefully screened.  Inspectors learn from experience.  It takes a few thousand inspections and a more than a few complaints for a home inspectors to LEARN what it takes to satisfy clients.  I spent seven years as a construction contractor prior to becoming a home inspectors in 1993. I have taught the New Jersey home inspection training class to new inspectors for a few years.   I still see things I have never seen before. Would you want the biggest investment of your life inspected by a person who took a three week training class?  RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION ALLOWS NEW JERSEY HOME INSPECTORS TO BE LICENSED WITH AS LITTLE AS THREE WEEKS OF CLASS ROOM TRAINING AND JUST ONE WEEK IN ACTUAL HOMES. LICENSING IS A MINIMUM QUALIFICATION. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR RESUME!</description>

		<description>Good article Sean. It kind of confirms to what I explain to my clients. It is like a used car. It has its wear and tear but all the mechanics have to work properly.

		<description>Sean, 

I really liked this posting. Especially the analogy you used with the GP as an inspector. Makes a lot of sense. I would use this with buyers. 

Thanks,
