Choose Your Gilbert Home Inspector Wisely

When beginning your hunt for your Gilbert home inspector, be sure to consider their expertise level. Just because an inspector is licensed, that does not mean they are experienced. !st insight inspections principal – Charles Shaughnessy has 20 years of experience in the home inspection field. Would you rather have a specialist that is newly out of school or one that has no less than 20 years of experience? Spending a few dollars extra for someone with more experience may save you thousands of dollars down the line.

Are termites in Gilbert that big of a deal?

Termites in Arizona may be small, but they do have the ability to damage the wood structures in a home, if they are left undisclosed for a very long time. There is a saying in the real estate industry – it’s not if your house will have termites, but when. Termites are very prevalent in Arizona.

Should I back out of a deal if my inspection report has a significant number of repair items?

Not necessarily. A home inspection report will always find items in need of repair. Some minor and some major. In residential homes, just about everything is repairable or replaceable. Just because several major items are found doesn’t mean that the house is not for you. In many cases the seller will agree to correct some, or all of the repairs at their cost to insure that the sale of the home proceeds.

Testimonials from Gilbert residents

“The report was clear, the defects were identified for us, the purchase of our house was easier once we knew what we were buying.” – Ben K. Rock Hill, Gilbert AZ

“Charles is awesome! He took his time walking us through the house we were considering buying and showed us issues that we were not aware of. Because of the inspection report, we were able to negotiate with the sellers to make the repairs before we closed! Well worth the investment!” – Mike and Lindsey S. – City of Gilbert

“1st Insight Inspections was thorough in inspecting our property. We were getting ready to sell our home in the city of Gilbert and our realtor recommended a pre-listing home inspection. We hesitated at first, but it saved us a ton of headaches once we sold our home.

The buyer’s home inspector was surprised on how our 8 year old home was in such good condition. (because we took care of the repairs identified by 1st Insight Inspections BEFORE we listed the house) Thanks a million, Chuck!” Betsy and John Dailey. – Chandler, AZ
