We Provide the Best Mortgage Rates but Here’s a Few Things the Home Inspection Might Miss

We are proud of the fact that our number one priority is to get you the best mortgage rates. However, there are some other professionals that should be on your team like an inspector to make sure you get the best value.

Here’s a few things that even the best home inspector might miss.

Bad DYI Projects and The Best Mortgage Rates

Getting the best mortgage rates is about making sure we dot our I’s and cross out T’s for each customer. After some of our clients buy their own homes, some want to save a few dollars by taking on renovation projects themselves.

There are a few different problems here when projects aren’t done up to code. For example, a home inspector won’t see electrical wiring that’s not done properly when it’s been covered over by drywall.

Pipes That Are Cracked

Most inspectors do an excellent job, but they are limited as to what they can see. If there’s a pipe under the house that’s cracked, you might not find out about the problem until it starts costing you big dollars in repairs.

It’s a good idea when the prospective buyer knows what to look for as well. For example, they should know that leaky shower tiles only show up when water gets splashed on them. That’s why they need to ask home inspector to spray the tiles or splash some water on to them with his hands so everyone can see if there’s a problem.

A Great Place To Live

It’s important to us every one of our clients gets the best terms on their mortgage and a great place to live. It’s important to take your time when you are choosing a mortgage broker and a home inspector so that you can work together to get you the best mortgage rates and a home that’s hassle free.
