Charleston is a City oriented towards its history and with good reason, 4 million visitors come to Charleston to experience the past in the form of structures, food and culture. Preservation is then a must within the confinements of the City. But even a City with such strong ties to its past has to look at the future, especially given the population increase projected by Charleston County to reach 425,000 by 2020 (for the County).

Home Inspection Reports

You are selling your home. Congratulations! One of the first things your buyer will have done before closing is a home inspection. Once the report is generated, typically the buyer or buyer’s agent contacts the seller (you) to demand these items be repaired, or to compensate the buyer for the listed repairs with a reduction in sales price.
This can be a frustrating time for a seller. No one told you up front that this was part of the transaction, and to make matters worse, you have no idea how to repair the items, or how much it will cost. The home inspection report follows every deficient item statement with, “have a contractor evaluate and repair”. Time to go to work and find a contractor to repair the items quickly and for a fair price. Not an easy task.
Fortunately, there are companies that specialize in these sort of real estate transaction issues. If you have an agent, rely on them to direct you to a qualified and licensed professional. Many times the buyer pushes harder than what is actually needed to repair the items by asking for replacement for example. A good contractor can give you factual knowledge and pricing of the deficiencies as it relates to code compliant construction. Often, deficient items can be resolved with nothing more than a letter from a licensed contractor.
