Home Inspections

This real estate video covers the topic of home inspections. When a potential home buyer makes an offer to a home seller and they accept, they go under contract. The buyer then gets a chance to inspect the general systems of the house. The purpose of the home inspection is to ensure that there aren’t major safety hazards, problems, or costs that the buyer will inherit at the time that they purchase the home. All homes will have some problems because no home is perfect. The inspection report will have items that may need to be addressed but the thing to keep in mind is that the buyer should really focus on the major issues involved with the home and not all the small details that can be corrected inexpensively over time.

Pre-Inspections

This real estate video is about pre-inspections, which are a little different than standard home inspections because they are done by the home seller instead of the home buyer. A home seller would hire a professional home inspector to come out and fully evaluate the home in order to determine what things should be corrected before putting the home on the market. The main benefit a seller receives from a pre-inspection is that they get a chance to remedy any problems before a buyer sees them and begins to worry that the problem could be much worse than it actually is. Pre-inspections end up saving the seller money in negotiations.

Earnest Money

This real estate video discusses the topic of earnest money. After committing to the price the home buyer is willing to pay for the purchase of their new home in the contract, they are agreeing to the earnest money that will be put up in order to demonstrate to the home seller that they are a serious buyer and are committed to the transaction. Earnest money is typically 1% of the purchase price. The conditions of the earnest money are written into the contract and as long as everything goes according to plan and the buyer buys and the seller sells the earnest money will be applied to the buyers closing costs.
