Many homeowners are caught by surprise to learn their Northeast Ohio City requires a Point of Sale Inspection in order to sell their home.  The required Point of Sale Inspections range from exterior (including sidewalks) or interior only, to both interior and exterior, while some point of sale inspections are strictly looking at mechanics, such as sewer systems. Fees range from city to city, as well as the requirements. A Point of Sale Inspection is different than a General Home Inspection, and you'll see this language or something similar in a purchase agreement...

What is Point of Sale Inspection?

INSPECTIONS REQUIRED BY ANY STATE, COUNTY, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR FHA/VA DO NOT REPLACE THE NEED FOR BUYER INSPECTIONS

Below you'll find a Point of Sale list by city, but we highly recommend you call your city to learn more about selling requirements, as ordinances may change, as well as to prepare for any additional costs for violation repairs - these repairs can be quite costly.

Noteworthy Items:

Violation corrections can be very costly, and have been prohibitave in the sale of a home, we highly recommend you call your city as part of the first steps of selling your home.

If violations have been found, they will need to be corrected prior to transfer of the home, the city will need to re-inspect after violations have been corrected. If repairs are satisfactory, the city will issue a compliance certificate, allowing for an occupancy permit.

For violation repairs, check with your city for a list of approved contractors.

Even if a buyer is willing to assume the city violations, 1.) assumption must be allowed by the city, 2.) assumption must be approved by the buyer's lender, if they are taking a mortgage, 3.) the amount to be deposited in escrow to cover the costs of repairs range from 1.5 - 3 times the amount of the repairs (could be more), depending on city and lender requirements, 4.) the city will specify an allowable time to correct violations.

Septic systems will fall under state, county, and city requirements, so if you have a septic system, call either your city or county to inquire about inspections.

The title company working on the sale and transfer of your home will run a search with the city to check for point of sale requirements. If they find one is needed, they will request the certificate of compliance. A certificate of compliance is needed to complete the transfer of your home.

Let’s face it, buying a Cleveland OH home is extremely stressful, after all, it’s likely the most expensive or one of the most expensive purchases you’ll make. Yet, 44% of homeowners regret the homes they bought or something about it. Buying a home is not like buying a pair of shoes that you can take back or give them away to someone who has the same size as you. In fact, trying to sell a home within a couple of years of purchase, without having enough equity, could mean you’re bringing big money to the closing table. So, with this crazy statistic in mind, we do everything we can to ensure your happiness with your purchase.

Often, we real estate agents, do a disservice to the public by making the process look seamless and easy when in reality it is often filled with issues to overcome. So, I’m taking this opportunity to share a difficult issue that my clients have had to deal with.

Meet Jimmy and Sarah…

Jimmy and Sarah found a home they fell in love with, made an offer to purchase, had their offer accepted, and thus began the process of buying the house for sale in Cleveland Ohio. They did their due diligence with inspections, which turned up some issues that they had further investigated. One of the major issues that were discovered during the inspection was a high water reading on a basement wall. We had a basement contractor come out to further investigate the issue. The contractor took into consideration the homeowners insistence that they never had water in the basement, the condition of the walls, and weather conditions, and felt Jimmy and Sarah will most likely need to address waterproofing down the road, but not immediately. They decided, since it was not an immediate need, they were willing to deal with it later, if the seller would make other repairs that required immediate attention. After days of negotiating, we came to an agreement on repairs the seller would make prior to closing.

About a week before the house transfer, we received notice from the seller’s agent that all repairs have been made and the duplex for sale in Ohio was ready to complete our final walk through. We scheduled the final walkthrough on the day before Jimmy and Sarah were signing their closing papers. Luckily for them, it had rained very heavy over the days prior to the walkthrough. During the walkthrough, we discovered replacement of a second story balcony railing was poorly completed and presented a continued safety hazard - the kind where if someone leaned on the railing, they could be tumbling to serious injury or worse - not acceptable. And, we observed another major issue of water in the basement. When we entered a section of the basement, parts of the nature stone flooring looked like it was glistening. I touched it and it felt moist. I asked Jimmy to touch it and he thought so too. So, I got a paper towel from the car, we put the towel down on the floor, and sure enough, the towel absorbed water.

I called the contractor who came out to investigate the basement, he said that because this type of flooring is porous it soaks up water, and the water was probably finding it’s way to the sump pump, which explained why there wasn't standing water and why parts of the flooring were shiny and others looked dry. But, he said if the paper towel is soaking up water, then water is coming in and the basement needs immediate attention.

When I called the listing agent, his seller’s response was that they were at the house for sale in Cleveland Ohio 44135 mid-afternoon and had mopped the floor, and they thought it was from that.  - Really? Perhaps, more like they were mopping up the water.

Naturally, Jimmy and Sarah were upset and very disappointed. They felt the sellers had not been forthright, coupled with the unsatisfactory repairs, they decided to initiate a mutual release and move on. Unfortunately, the sellers were not cooperative and threatened legal action. We contacted Jimmy and Sarah's loan officer and explained the change in property condition due to water in the basement. We were able to send the loan officer the video and pictures we took. The mortgage company's underwriting department declared that there was a significant change in property condition, thus they declined the loan and provided us with the appropriate letter of denial. This letter was the key to getting the mutual release signed. A big relief for Jimmy and Sarah!

Jimmy and Sarah, like many home buyers, understand there are no perfect homes in the Cleveland real estate market and most of them need something, but they want to buy a home, not the home's fatal flaws. While it is sad and they’ve spent time and money on inspections, appraisals, and loan application, in the long run, it’s much better for them to find this out before the house was officially theirs and this huge financial expense would be on them.

It is important, especially with the low inventory of Cleveland OH homes for sale by owner, that a home buyer does not feel pressured or cornered to accept something they would later regret or put them in a financial crisis.

Are you ready to buy the best home for sale in Mayfield Village? If yes, then there some things you need to consider before purchasing a home.

You might already have an idea of what you want in a home, such as a list of features or must-haves. However, there is a lot more to consider than just amenities and style.

Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions in a person’s life. Keep reading to know the things you need to consider when purchasing a home for sale in Mayfield Village.

Features

What do you want to see in your home? Do you want a pool? Do you want lots of outdoor space? Or maybe you need a dedicated room for an office?

Some people who enjoy home customization would opt for homes with unfinished basements or those in need of repair.

Other people would want a professional grade chef’s kitchen, while others would be happy with a kitchen that is just a kitchen.

Remember, make sure you do not confuse your needs and your wants. Some things are nice to have, but depending on your budget and lifestyle, would be impractical.

Location

If you have kids, you might want a home that is close to schools, parks, or playgrounds. Another thing to consider would be your work. Mayfield Village homes for sale are an excellent choice for those working in or near Cleveland.

Another thing to consider would be your hobbies and lifestyle. An active, outdoorsy kind of person will naturally opt for a home closer to a lake or some hiking trails.

Homes here in Mayfield Village are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable life in a peaceful location with all the conveniences of modern living.

New Home or Existing Home?

Another big thing to consider is whether you want a brand new home or a home previously lived in.

The perks of buying a new construction home is it’s brand new! Remember how you felt buying a new car or a new phone? This is ten times better!

New homes are also great because you don’t have to worry about any wear and tear from the previous owners or costly repairs from misuse or abuse.

The downside is these are generally more expensive than existing homes. Also, you should never forget to have a home inspection, even on a new home.

New construction homes are commonly found in new and developing communities, so expect a ton of construction will be going on as you move in. These new communities might also be located far from city centers, so prepare for your commute to be longer than usual.

Each person has their own unique set of must-haves in a home. Throughout my years as a real estate agent, I have strived to find the perfect match for each of my clients.
