home inspections

In this week’s episode of Phoenix Real Estate FAQ Dean Ouellette and Kristin LaVanway answer the following questions:

* Is it a good time to buy a house?
* Do I need a home inspection if I am buying As-Is?
* Can my Realtor give me the lockbox codes so I can check out a house?
* Why do short sales take so long?

Thanks, Sasha (Speilberg) Lopez doing her part and keeping us on track and keeping us laughing.

Send us your questions…we’d love to hear from you…

Latest edition of Phoenix Real Estaet FAQ’s with Dean Ouellette and Kristin LaVanway:

Questions we answer this week include

  • Can my listing agent charge administration fees on top of commission?
  • Are open houses a thing of the past or should I have one?
  • How can I get more pictures of a house I see on the Internet?
  • Who is responsible for making sure utilities are on for the home inspection?

If you know how to operate a stop watch and a camera let us know as we may need to replace Sasha Lopez behind the camera.  As you will see at the end, she doesn’t always bring out the best in us.

Yesterday I talked with Ron Kohatsu of WIN Home Inspection about getting a home inspection on your new purchase. This is a follow up after I left on the results and why it is better to be safe than sorry. If you want to talk to Ron you can contact him at 602.348.3031.

I hear all the time, do I need a home inspection on this home I am buying? It looks like it is in good shape to me. The short answer is yes, I would never advise anyone to purchase a home, new or old, without first getting an independent home inspection. Spending $350 to find out the only problem with your home is a broken garbage disposal is much better than saving $350 and finding out a year later it needs $8,000 in electrical work. For a local inspector one person I highly recommend is Ron Kohatsu of WIN home inspection at 602.348.3031.
