Buyers Home Inspection
Buying a home? Always get a real estate inspection first. Most banks require at least a pest inspection, and many require a full inspection. Even if a full inspection is not required, don’t even think about skipping it! Find out what you’re getting into before you buy.
Home inspections in Asheville NC can reveal both minor and serious problems. Minor issues can be expected when purchasing any home, but serious issues can be deal breakers. You’ll want to know in advance if there might be any costly repairs looming, such as roof failure, basement water leaks, or cracked, shifting foundations.
If a buyer home inspection reveals any problems, the seller can be asked to pay for repairs, or the cost of repairs can be negotiated in the home’s asking price. Either way, it’s always the best practice to know just what you’re getting before putting ink to any contract.
A skilled housing inspector like Peter Young is essential, especially if you’re considering purchasing an “as is” home. A buyer home inspection can eliminate anxiety about unexpected, costly repairs. The peace of mind alone more than compensates for the cost of an inspection.
Sellers Home Inspection
Most people know that if you’re buying a home you need to get a residential home inspection. But what about a sellers home inspection? Does it pay to have your home inspected before putting it on the market? In most cases, yes! It does.
Here are a few advantages for having a real estate home inspector evaluate your home before putting it on the market:
- Find out the condition of your home. You know the buyer will have an inspection before closing. Getting your own inspection first will give you a heads-up on any issues that could potentially kill the sale. You can make repairs that eliminate the problem. At the very least, getting a seller home inspection takes the anxiety out of waiting for the buyer inspection, knowing that your home is free from any major problems.
- Reduce or eliminate price negotiating during a sale. Quite often, if a buyer finds a problem, they try to negotiate the price of the house. This is minimized when you’ve had your own inspection and taken care of any problems.
- Increase buyer confidence. When you hand buyers a good inspection report, they feel secure that the home is free from unpleasant surprises.
Be sure to choose the right seller home inspector. Peter Young has the skill and experience to give your home a thorough assessment. Call 828-808-4980 today to arrange your seller residential home inspection.

Peter: Thanks so much for a great inspection, and a quick turnaround on the report. Great photos and excellent write-ups alongside each. Please feel free to use me as a reference in the future. Adam
Peter was incredibly professional, on time, friendly, and thorough. He returned our call as soon as we called him, and he runs his business like a true professional. He makes the whole process easy and straightforward, and everything is handled through a comprehensive electronic system. He spent hours at the home, conducting an incredibly thorough inspection. We have been very pleased with Peter as our home inspector!
The inspection was completed on time and was detailed and comprehensive. My son who is a structural engineer was able to read the report and relay what he thought should be addressed before the due diligence period ends. I was impressed by the order of the report and ease of understanding. I would absolutely recommend Peter Young’s company!
