THIS IS THE BUYER'S INFORMATION PAGE

OUR COMMITMENT
A customer - is someone who buys something from you and you may never see them again. A client - is some one under your protection. We only have clients.

PURPOSE
The purpose of a home inspection is to protect the client against costly repairs and financial loss. It's an evaluation of the dwelling by a professional to protect the buyer. We are committed to this purpose.

IMPORTANCE OF A HOME INSPECTION
To hire a good professional home inspector, may be the most important decisions you will ever make in your life. Why, because once you buy the house you are committed to the maintenance and repairs. You can't take it back to the store and get your money back.

BOOKING A HOME INSPECTION
We don't like answering machines. We will always answer the phone with a professional knowledgeable person. The only time you'll get the answering machine is when we're closed or all the phone lines are busy. G. Warren Inc. home inspections will always be available after the inspection to answer questions and help the client, answering machines can only take messages.

G. WARREN HOME INSPECTION INCLUDES: PRICES STARTING AT $199 MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! FREE! SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM FREE! $75.00 C.O. TEST ON FURNACE ON SITE WRITTEN REPORT

WHEN TO BOOK AN INSPECTION
We recommend that you wait till your completely out of attorney review before you book an inspection. After you sign the contract the attorney's have three days to review the contract and that review many times runs weeks instead of days. During the attorney review period, either party can terminate the transaction for any reason and, the seller can still accept other contracts on the house. The bottom line is, one doesn't have a valid contract until the attorney review period is complete. We recommend that one waits till your out of attorney review and have a valid contract in hand before spending any money inspecting someone else's house.

THE BUYER MUST ATTEND THE INSPECTION
G. Warren Inc. NJ Home Inspections will not conduct a home inspection without the buyer present. With the buyer in attendance, the inspector can show and explain the seriousness of any repairs. The buyer with detailed knowledge about the condition of the house, will then be able to negotiate repairs or terminate the transaction.


HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN INSPECTION

UTILITIES
No inspection can be conducted without all the utilities turned on and functional. All utilities would be, electrical service, gas supply, water service. In addition to the utilities, all equipment should be functional : furnace, hot water heater, electrical circuit breakers,
gas supply valves, main water valve, etc.

ACCESS TO ALL AREAS
All areas of the home should be made accessible for the inspection. Access and sufficient inspection space around heat/air conditioning equipment, kitchen appliances, electric panels, and crawl spaces. Access openings to the attic areas should be readily accessible. For example, if an access is located within a closet, all items that would prevent easy access, should be temporarily removed till after the inspection.

PETS
Pets can cause problems. Pets should be secured / caged. There is the potential for the inspector being injured and inspectors can not be responsible for pets running away when doors are opened and closed. Secured pets will allow the inspector to proceed with as little interruption as possible. A good inspection can only be accomplished when the inspectors can completely concentrate on the inspection.

CLIENTS CONCERNS
Clients should inform the inspectors of any particular concerns they may have, such as problems they have observed or problems that may have been disclosed to them. Whenever possible, the home buyer should obtain from the home owner an up to date formal disclosure document that identifies known problems and any major repairs or changes that have been made to the property.

COST OF INSPECTION
The average person looks at a house less that 20 minutes before making an offer. With this in mind, it's obvious that a good home inspection is imperative. All home inspections are not alike, most times the difference between a professional first class licensed inspector and an unlicensed non-professional inspection is less than $ 100.00 Dollars. G. Warren Inc. home inspection NJ is priced competitively and hopefully we will be your choice for your home inspection. The price of the home inspection is not the place to save money, a poor inspection could cost you thousands in costly repairs.

THE INSPECTOR
A professional inspector will do the following:
(A) Be at the property early and start off with an inspection of the exterior for structural, roof, and ground slope problems.
(B) Insist that the buyer accompany the inspector throughout the complete inspection. And,
insist that the seller not be involved in the inspection .
(C) Take his time inspecting and answer all the buyer's questions.
(D) At the end of the inspection, summarize the overall condition of the property and highlight any repairs.
(E) The written report should be informative and readable, not just a check list.
The buyer will know he receive a good inspection when at the end of the inspection, he feels that he learned all about the house and now can decide with confidence whether to purchase the house or terminate the transaction.

THE REPAIR ITEMS
Many times the inspector will discover repairs and recommend that a licensed contractor in that field be hired to give an evaluation and exact repair cost. When this happens, the buyer has two options: (a) Ask the seller to make the repairs and supply certification that the job was completed by a licensed contractor or, hire your own contractor, obtain exact repair costs and negotiate the price with the seller. What one should avoid is assuming that the repair isn't that serious and accepting the house "as is" without a repair cost evaluation. This type of decision could cost you thousands of dollars.

THE FINAL STAGE OF A HOME INSPECTION
The buyer must get the inspection report to the attorney as soon as possible after the inspection. The reason being, so that repairs can be addressed with the seller before the contract time limitation expires. I recommend that the buyer take the report to his attorney and not rely on other people to deliver the report. If the repairs are not negotiated within the contractual time frame, it is the buyer who suffers the financial loss.

HOME INSPECTOR NC WAR STORIES

ROSE COLORED GLASSES
Looking at property through Rose Colored Glasses could cost a person their life savings, plus damage their health through stress and aggravation. This statement is not far fetched. I have witnessed this happen to several buyers. This usually happens to buyers of property that is a ? handyman special ?. However, Buyers of newer homes can also fall into the same trap by taking repairs too lightly and not really investigating repair costs.

The mortgage companies today make it so easy to get a mortgage. People qualify for a mortgage today that would not be considered ten years ago. Usually these people have very little money down and have no money for repairs. However, the burning desire to own their own home is so great, they take a chance on a "fixer upper" and that's where the problem begins. They look at the house through rose colored glasses and ignore the home inspectors evaluation that the dwelling has serious repair problems. They feel that in time they can fix it up and everything will work out. However, many times in reality, they lack the necessary repair funds and may also lack the skills to make the repairs if they had the funds.

The following story is about a family that bought a house that needed major repairs. They bought the house against the recommendation of the home inspector and found out that they bought a nightmare instead of a home. The inspection was in Piscataway NJ in 1998. The dwelling was a 70 plus years old ranch that needed a complete rehabilitation . You name it , it was wrong or damaged in this dwelling. The plumbing was completely non functional, in fact, the plumbing was in such a poor condition, there was no water to the bathroom shower head or sink. It was also reported in the inspection that the toilet didn't flush properly and that the main sewer line may need replacement. Well the buyer ignored the inspection report and purchased the property. When they moved in and found out they couldn't take a shower or use the toilet, they had to move back out and live with a relative because they gave up their apartment. Needless to say, the property eventually went to foreclosure. The buyer now was in debt for thousands of dollars for a house that he never lived in and, he certainly damaged his credit by having the house go into foreclosure. All because his desire to own a home overrode his better judgment. In other words, he was seeing the house through "rose colored glasses". Not all buyers that take a chance on a handyman special get trapped into the situation that was just described. Most people will make it work but they are the people that buy a functional house that is livable and they have the skills to up grade the dwelling. Also, they take a realistic financial approach to the purchase and make sure that the repairs are within their financial limits and also within the limits of their skill to up grade and make repairs.
