Earlier in the summer, I listed my home and was sold within days upon contingent of home inspection. The buyer brought in their own inspector, and claimed there was a possible issue with my basement - but they were not definitive of their findings. In the next few days, the buyer brought in more "experts" (some of whom were more eager to sell a solution than to really diagnose whether or not there is a problem in the first place). Needless to say, in the end, the buyer got so confused / worried that they backed out of the deal.
After the deal fell through, I found myself in the worst situation that could happen to a seller; I was not sure where the buyer's claim was substantiated, I was defenseless because I never knew there could be an issue, and worst of all I was left with a home with a tarnished reputation. To investigate this situation, and to do my due diligence as a seller, I contacted Alan for a pre-sale inspection. (Alan was highly recommended to me by a friend in the real estate business).
Alan did a very thorough investigation of the property, and found that there was no issue with the basement. He was able to dispute the buyer's claim, and explained why the buyer's inexperienced inspector may have misinterpreted a very common phenomenon for a sign of trouble in the basement. In the end, Alan provided a very detailed and easy to read report outlining his factual findings before I re-listing my house on the market.
Armed with the pre-sale inspection report, I had confidence that I was putting a good house back on the market, and it sold to a new buyer. My agent provided the pre-sale inspection report to the new buyer, and they were satisfied with it that they even waive the home inspection clause.
The house is now sold, and I'm thankful that AllMax came to the rescue. Thank you Alan for all your help and expertise!!
