Today we are going to discuss the importance of having a home inspection on your St. Croix home.

A home inspection is an opportunity to protect yourself as a buyer. When you add a contingency into your offer as a buyer for a home inspection, if something comes up during the inspection that would cause you to not want to buy the home, it’s your protection in being able to walk away from the deal.

After the inspection is complete, you’ll review the items on the report with your agent and if there are any defects, you can negotiate fixes. There are going to be some items on the report that you won’t want to ask the sellers to make repairs on. We’re talking about minor cosmetic issues here. If there is a problem with a major system in the home, the seller has the responsibility to cover at least some of the repair costs. Sometimes they may ask you to split them.

The cost of a home inspection depends on the size of the home but usually is in the range of $300-$400.

If you have any questions for us about home inspections, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!

We want you all to know about an amazing program called Homes for Heroes. This program allows people of various professions to buy homes at a discount. Some of these professions include police officers, firefighters, teachers, doctors, nurses, veterans, and more.

On average, a hero will save $2,000 during a transaction, and if they’re buying and selling, they can save up to $4,000. This money saved can then be spent on updates or repairs to a new home, or you could invest money into your old home before selling. 

Please let people know about this program. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this rebate. If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

How We Helped Susan Sell Her Home Using Creative Strategies

"We sold our house, so that was a good result. They went above and beyond in many situations. They were always in communication when the house wasn’t selling at first. Jill brainstormed with me about different ideas we could do. She even brought in a new marketing firm for an online auction. That seemed to do that trick and that was definitely going above and beyond anybody else has ever suggested to us. I like her creativity and her open-minded approach to strategizing with her clients."

How We Helped Jeremy Buy a Home on His Own Time

"I bought my first house through the McNamee team. I was really busy at the time and the team worked together to hand-deliver all the documents that needed to be signed right to my place of work. It was a white-glove service and they really brought it around to make it happen when closing on the house."
