Market Update
Buying a property is a big decision and we always recommend that you hire a professional home inspector to make sure that your home is in good working order. The home inspection period here on Maui is typically the first 14 days upon the acceptance date of the contract. A basic home inspection report will cover the foundation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, heating and air systems, electrical systems, appliances, and the roof. Depending upon the size of your unit, it will cost you between $200 and $600. It is well worth it to find out what repairs are needed prior to taking ownership of your property. If you are unsatisfied with the findings of the home inspection, then you can cancel the contract.
The home inspectors that our team recommends are “ASHI” certified. “ASHI” stands for American Standard of Home Inspections. This organization was founded in 1976 and it is the oldest and most respected professional society of home inspectors in North America. They adhere to a high standard of practice and strict codes of conduct. Basically, to be an “ASHI” certified home inspector, you have to pass a National Home Inspection Examination among other tests. Therefore, you can be confident that your home inspector has the education and knowledge to conduct the inspection. You can visit www.ashi.org to find a home inspector in your area. Feel free to email us to obtain a list of our preferred home inspectors on Maui.
