Types of Inspections

Whether your buying or selling a home,, inspections are traditionally part of the process. For buyers, it is a layer of protection ensuring that the home you are buying is in good working condition. For sellers, getting an inspection is forewarning of potential problems in the selling process. Today I would like to talk about the most common inspections, home, pest, and septic.

The home inspection is a lengthy process by which an inspector goes over the home with a fine tooth comb looking for problems. The roof, trusses, walls, floors, fixtures, and appliances are all inspected. You water lines, electrical, and A/C are all put through their paces. This is an inspection I suggest every buyer get. You never know from a home tour what hidden issues might be lurking under a pretty surface.

Pest inspections are another inspection of highly recommend buyers invest in. Finding out before close that there are termites in the attic and roaches in the walls, can turn a dream home into a nightmare. Some home inspectors include pest inspection.

Septic inspections are typically found in rural communities as more urban homes tend to be built on city water and sewer. If a home is on septic, getting an inspection is vital. However, if your inspection finds that the entire system has been compromised, it is far better to know before things go south.

Typically these inspections are all done on the same day and usually run side by side. Once the inspectors generate their reports, the buyers and their agent can discuss the next step. Sometimes it is asking for repairs or a lower price. This is a time of complex negotiations between buyers and sellers as they come to terms both sides can live with. It is important for both sides to be realistic about their goals and possible outcomes. A good real estate agent can help their clients maintain calm, humor, and patience through the process. We are always happy to help and offer advise though the decisions rest with the buyers and sellers.

Happy Buying and Selling!

Planning For the Unexpected

One of the hardest things about home ownership is no one prepares you for the unexpected. As a renter, any repairs fall on the landlord. Today I would like to talk about the little things that pop up once you are a homeowner.

Toilet breaks in the middle of the night, a pipe bursts, a roof leak, as a homeowner it is up to you to figure it out. As much as we would like to think that an inspection is going to catch absolutely everything, there are always surprises. I know of a buyer connecting washer days after the closing and the whole fitting broke off in their hand. There was water spraying everywhere. Stove worked on the inspection day and three weeks after closing just died. A bird crashes into a window and cracks it. These things happen. The key is to be prepared.

If a buyer is prepared and budgeted for these problems they are an annoyance or minor inconvenience. It is important that when purchasing a house that you build into your budget room for repairs. You may be tempted to put all or most of your money down to have a slightly smaller mortgage, but I would caution to that leaving yourself a few thousand dollars to ensure that you have funds for the little mishaps that come up when you own a home. The alternative is asking the seller for a home warranty to cover home repairs. This will give you time to put aside a contingency fund for future repairs.

Home ownership is a joy, and I am not just saying that as a realtor. I truly do love my home. However over the years and many moves, I have found that it is important to plan for the unexpected.

Happy Home Ownership!

Higher Education

Some towns are college towns. They are known for the schools. Auburn, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, Berkeley, Clemson, they are names you know only for the universities that reside within their borders. Brevard is not one of those areas. Visitors and new residents may be surprised to find that we have a more than one institute of higher learning. We have two dedicated schools here is Brevard County with a number of satellite campus for additional schools.

Florida Institute of Technology, FIT as we call it, is situated in the southern part of Melbourne and has four main colleges. Engineering and Science, Aeronautics, Psychology and Liberal Arts, and Business. The university sits of a gorgeous 130 acres campus. It is known for its research and pulls students from all over the United States and from around the world.

Eastern Florida State College is a public state college with campuses in Titusville, Cocoa, Melbourne, and Palm Bay. Established in the 1960’s as a Junior College EFSC has been offering Bachelor Degrees since 2013. The school offers nearly 100 degrees and certificate programs including career and technical programs. The school also has a partnership with FIT and University of Central Florida to streamline transfers between the schools.

The University of Central Florida maintains a satellite campus in Cocoa. Making it easier for local students to work toward their degrees without weekly trips to Orlando.

Barry University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Keiser University, and Webster University all offer satellite campuses throughout the Space Coast.

As you may guess from our proximity to NASA most of our schools started out supplying NASA with qualified candidates. Today we still have strong Science and Engineering programs, but no matter your field of interest you are sure to find a school and degree program to fit your needs.

Happy Living in Brevard!
