Assured Home Buying
At Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty, we take great pride in the
homes we present for sale and the services we offer to our clients.In this spirit, we are proud to offer a
"first" in the industry - an Assured Home. Buyers can now have the peace of mind they desire when purchasing the
biggest investment of their lives.
Sellers share in this peace of mind by knowing that the home they are
offering has passed a rigorous inspection process, and will be marketed as an
"Assured Home" to buyers. This mark of
quality enhances the appeal of the home, thereby making it possible to realize
the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time with the least amount
of inconvenience.

Participating Houses are inspected prior to marketing
for sale by professional property inspectors.

Termite/Wood Pest Control.

Hazards Disclosure
The process begins with a
complete home inspection by an insured, accredited inspector specializing in
residential properties. Having a home pre-inspected at the time of listing
allows sellers to get the best price, promotes a less stressful transaction and
instills buyer confidence. The home inspector will prepare a report, a copy of
which may be presented to the buyer for careful review.
Following the home
inspection, a structural pest control inspection will be performed. In addition
to wood pests, the inspector will also look for any dry rot or conditions that may
lead to wood failure due to excessive moisture or fungus damage. Again, a copy
of this report will be provided to the buyer.
Additional inspections
and reports may include:private sewage (septic)
systems, wellwater, state designated "hazard
zones" andother conditions of
concern to any potential purchaser.
Prior to marketing, the
List Price of the home must be reviewed and signed off by management. In order
to qualify as an Assured Home, the published asking price of the home must reflect
current market values for similar homes in like and kind neighborhoods and
condition.
At close of escrow, a
home warranty, pre-paid for the first year by the seller, will be provided to the
buyer. This home protection plan will cover the "working" systems of the
property. Your Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty agent will provide you with details
regarding the type of contract that will best satisfy your home's needs.
Peace of mind, quality
assurance and no unpleasant surprises...a first in the industry for the industry
leader… Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty.
In Summary:
Assured Homes are pre-inspected in an attempt to determine if defects are
present, which would otherwise cause new negotiations during the course of a
sale escrow.These inspections give
sellers and buyers a degree of 'assurance' that their transaction can proceed
with a minimum amount of disclosure related anxiety. Neither Century 21 Lois Lauer Realty nor
participating Sellers Warrant or Insure the conditions of these homes.
