Cleveland is a sellers market, so why get a Cleveland home inspection? With homes selling so fast, you may be tempted to skip getting a home inspection, especially if you find yourself in a multiple bid situation. Check out this post, "Should I Waive the Home Inspection in a Seller’s Market to Win a Multiple Bid Situation?"  Mike Vakos, owner and lead home inspector at Tri-County Inspections makes short videos to help new home buyers understand the types of preventative measures you can uncover in a home inspection, like this rusted meter and corroded electrical wires found at this Elyria home inspection.

Cleveland Home Inspection Saves Home Buyers Money

If you read past posts, and watch the Tri-County Inspections videos, you will see that in many different situations we have been saving home buyers thousands!  In Home Inspection Finds Missing Gutters, the new homeowners can make the required fix instead of having to deal with extensive water damage down the road. In One Reason to Get a Home Inspection: Find Causes of Mold, a home inspection reveals early signs of mold  - when repairs can be inexpensive and save the home buyer from costly mold remediation down the road.

A new home buyer is not likely to walk through a potential home they want to buy with the most equitable and keenest eye. This is just one reason a home inspector is so important. In this home inspection in Elyria, as the outside of the house is being inspected a rusty and loose electrical meter is noticed. Also, the electrical wires coming out of the meter are visibly corroded and exposed. These are hazards to the potential home buyer that needs to be addressed. A simple recommendation to contact the electrical company to replace the meter and corroded wires can help these new Elyria home owners ensure the proper maintenance is reducing risk to their new home.
