6 QUESTIONSA professional home inspection helps consumers learn about the conditionof a home before making a purchase, but not all home inspectors arecreated equal.

According to HouseMaster, the oldest and most experienced name inhome inspections, consumers often only ask for information about fees, butprice should not be the deciding factor. Saving a few dollars on a homeinspection could cost you thousands down the road.

Consumers should ask 6 important questions when shopping for a homeinspector:

1. Does the inspector have access to ongoing education and technicalsupport? Many states now have some form of licensing or registration forhome inspectors, but do not provide adequate continuing education andsupport. Look for a well-trained home inspector who also has access to anexperienced technical staff and extensive reference information.

2. Is the inspector tested or re-certified annually? Make sure that a homeinspector is tested every year —not just when they completed training —toensure they are up to date on potential conditions in a home.

3. Does the contract outline the scope of the inspection? A home inspectorcan’t see through walls or under carpets, and, depending on the area,there may be other things an inspector can’t inspect. A professional homeinspector should provide detailed information on the scope of the inspectionprior to its start so that clients understand what to expect.

4. How is the inspector’s phone answered? The way an inspector handlesincoming calls is often indicative of the quality of service. Be wary ofinspectors who answer calls while on inspections or driving to them. Lookfor an inspector with a professional office staff that can schedule yourinspection quickly, provide a detailed descri ption of services, and answerall your questions.

5. Does the inspector back his inspection with a written guarantee ? Ahome inspection is not an insurance policy against future repair needs.However, good home inspectors will stand behind the accuracy of theirfindings. Ask if the inspector provides any kind of written guarantee andmake sure it’s not a third party policy.

6. Does the inspector have a professional Web site ? The internet givesconsumers the opportunity to do their homework online, including shoppingfor a home inspector. Review the Web sites of several inspectors to see ifthe site is professionally developed, offers current and useful information, asample report, client testimonials and more details on the qualifications ofthe inspector.

There are plenty of home inspectors to choose from. Making a wise homepurchase depends on whether you took the time to choose a qualifiedprofessional.

Many news reports point to the sub prime lending mess as the cause for the housing slump. But home sellershould know that plenty of people with good credit are simply cautious buyers, which can keep sales down.

n most areas it’s a buyer’s market, s o people can be picky. “Most buyers in this market will try to re-negotiateased on the ndings of their home inspection. If the seller is unwilling to make repairs or lower the price, they

may walk away because they knew other properties are available,” says Kathleen Kuhn, president and CEO of HouseMaster .

With approximately two million home inspections collectively performed by its franchise ofces, HouseMaster isware of a number of conditions that are more likely to scare buyers away.

But sellers do not have to stand by with their ngers crossed to secure a fair sale.

More and more home sellers are getting a pre-listing home inspection that helps identify potential deal-reaking issues before the house is listed on the market,” Kuhn says. “This way, sellers can x problems and

worry less about a buyer walking away late in the deal process.”

Roong Concerns: A new homeowner does not want the expense of roof replacement shortly after closing.Many sellers believe that if their roof is not presently leaking it is in acceptable condition. But an astute buyerknows that a worn roof needs to be replaced before it leaks.

Electrical Problems: Older panels are often undersized and might even pose a re hazard. Although anupgrade is usually straightforward, the potential re risk can be scary for prospective buyers.

Structural Issues: Major structural issues are one of the least common defects found in homes, but when theydo occur, they can be costly to repair, and can really stop a buyer in his tracks. Fortunately, there are oftenepair options that will make the sales process go smoother. But it will often require another inspection by atructural engineer or repair professional, and additional time, to determine what can be done.

Synthetic Stucco or Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS): Overall EIFS can be effective, economical

lternatives to traditional stucco. Unfortunately improper installation can lead to trapped moisture behind theiding. This can cause structural damage and mold, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars to correct.

Sellers lose some advantage when they are caught off guard by issues, even minor ones. In a market wherevery edge counts, sellers can use tools like pre-listing home inspections and repair records to show that theyre conscientiou s and have taken appropriate steps to sell responsibly and competitively," Kuhn says.

Remember, these tips are only general guidelines. Since each situation is different, contact a professional if youhave questions about a specic issue. More home safety and maintenance information is available online atwww.sandiego.housemaster.com .

4 Real E stateDeal Killers










HOME HEALTH ANDSAFETY CHECKLIST

Most of us schedule an annual personal physical withour family doctor. When you consider the amount of time your family spends at home, it makes total

sense to give your home an annual physical as well.San Diego HouseMaster has prepared a list of somebasic healthy house issues to assist you inperforming your home’s physical. Set aside sometime to review the following:

Humidiers/Dehumidiers . Humidiers addmoisture to house air and are typically needed whena warm air heating system is operational.Dehumidiers remove moisture from the air and are

typically used in basements or crawlspace areas.

• Both of these moisture control devices shouldbe checked regularly during usage periods.

• Check to make sure there is no leakage oroverowing of water onto the heating systemand all drain lines properly dispose of thewater.

• Some dehumidiers have to be manuallyemptied. If this is inconvenient, replace with aunit with an automatic shut-off or drain.

• They should be thoroughly cleaned before orafter seasonal use, and as needed otherwise.Remove any slime buildup with a water/bleachsolution or use the cleaning agentsrecommended by the manufacturer.

“give your home anannual physical”





Alarms/Detectors . Check all safety and securityalarm s regularly; replace older alarms (a fter veyears or as otherwise recommended by themanufacturer):

• Smoke/Fire Alarms. These are your family’srst line of defense/warning in the event of are/smoke emergency. Change the batteries

in all of your smoke/re alarms at leastannually. Set a regular date when all arechanged each year.

• CO Monitors. Carbon Monoxide is odorlessand colorless. A CO detector is the only wayto identify elevated levels of CO in your homebefore physical injury occurs. If you don’thave CO monitors protecting your home fromthis toxic gas, you should act immediatelyand install them in strategic locations near

the sleeping areas and other pointsrecommended by the manufacturer or localofcials. Check that presently installed unitsare operational.

• Radon Testing. Check with your localmunicipal building department and inquire if radon gas is a community health threat. If itis, you should test your home for thepresence of this invisible, odorless gas.

• Security Systems. All too often homeowners

disengage their security alarm to avoidnuisance calls. This puts them at a securityrisk. If this is the case in your home, check with an alarm company to see if otheroptions are better suited for your family.

EMERGENCY PREPARATION . Prepare theseessential items for routine activities or emergencies:

• First Aid Kit• Family Contact List• House Equipment Maintenance Information• Babysitter Information• Emergency Evacuation Kit• Medial and Financial Records

Remember, these tips are only general guidelines.Since each situation is different, contact aprofessional if you have questions about a specicissue. More home safety and maintenanceinformation is available online atwww.sandiego.housemaster.com .

Inspect the InspectorQuestions For Home Owners

Don`t forget to inspect your home inspector! All home inspectors are NOT created equal. Choosing the rightcertied home inspection company is crucial. To make certain yourhome inspector is qualied and is a certied home inspectioncompany, you need to "Inspect the Inspector". Follow thisimportant advice and you will be able to make an informed realestate purchase with the assistance of a certied home inspector. The following information has been prepared to assist you inevaluating and selecting the best certied home inspectioncompany:

Do they offer a guarantee?

The inspection rm you trust to inspect your home should offercertied home inspectors and guarantee their inspection. A writtenLimited Inspection Guarantee assures you that your inspection willbe both thorough and accurate. After all, why trust a homeinspector who does not trust himself?

Questions to Ask:

• Do you provide a written any guarantee to back yourinspection ndings?• What happens if I nd a new problem with the home after I

move in?

Does the inspector receive training and on-going technical support?

When selecting a home inspection rm, make sure their inspectors have beenformally trained by a recognized training organization such as NIBI (TheNational Institute of Building Inspectors®*). This type of professional trainingassures you that your inspector has been trained in the necessary areas ofresidential construction and understands the home inspection process.

You should also make sure that your inspector has access to on-goingTechnical Support and is a certied home inspector through a reputable certication program inaddition to any local licensing and regulation.

*HouseMaster began NIBI in 1987 in an effort to standardize training and testing for HouseMaster inspectors. Today NIBI training and on-going support is open to individuals interested in the home inspection industry as well as existing home inspectors via classroom or on-line training.



• What kind of training do the inspectors receive?• What is the extent of the inspector̀ s on-going training?• How frequently are the inspectors tested?

What is the reputation of inspector?

The certied home inspection company you select should be backed by solid experience and enjoy areputation for satised clients. Building a favorable reputation takes years of dedication to inspector

training as well as customer satisfaction. Ask real estate professionals and friends about theirexperiences with the various home inspection companies in the area.

Questions to Ask:

• How long has the company been in business?• How many inspections have they performed?

Review a sample inspection report

Before you make a nal decision on a home inspector, determinehow much detail the inspection report will cover. There are severalkey areas you want to make sure are covered in the written report:

• What elements will be inspected• Estimated ages and life spans of major systems, if

appropriate• What elements may require repair now or in the near future

Many home inspection rms simply provide a cursory report that

only documents whether an element is functioning or not functioning. Your inspection report should notonly provide you with an understanding of immediate concerns, but should also provide you withinformation that will assist you in maintaining and enjoying your new home.

Questions to Ask:

• Can I see a sample inspection report?• Will the report provide detail on the type of systems in the home?• How are the systems rated in the report?• Will the report be made available at the end of the inspection?• Do you post your inspections online at a secure site?
