Home Owners Checklist

I realized that many home buyers need help understanding their home systems like appliances, HVAC, and exterior. As part of the buying process, most buyers hire an inspector to point out possible issues and required maintenance. This is overwhelming at the time and we frequently need to prioritize findings for the Inspection Objection. It can be helpful to understand what potential replacements might be needed during your first year of ownership, so I created this table based on average life expectancy of common home systems. You can tailor as needed especially using your Inspection report, but this type of analysis serves as a starting place.

Part of understanding the systems in your home is understanding typical life expectancy and planning ahead for any repairs or replacements. Some home owners choose to buy a warranty or perhaps a warranty was a condition of the sale. Other home owners simply set aside a percentage of their home’s value maybe one or two percent annually to cover those unexpected things. But what if you had a way to more accurately forecast when something might break? Any of the AI engines these days can get you approximate costs to help you plan ahead.

My goal during your purchase was to provide excellent service and that doesn’t change after closing. I want to continue to be a resource for you and help make your home needs simpler. If you would like a Predictive Analysis of Expected repairs specific for you, let me know. I’m happy to create one just for you and your home!
