WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

so proud of their well-managed team of professionals, who actually enjoy their job, and honored that so many have chosen them to take care of their home and business for so many years.

No Housework This Weekend!

Here it is two weeks into January and the entire East County farmland is covered in fog. You can’t hear the sound of tractors or irrigation pumps, but you know the planting of our famous Brentwood Sweet Corn is right around the corner. Like many, I made my New Year’s resolutions and have already checked a few off my list. What a great time to look in on a local business that can get you started on yours.

Class Act Cleaning Services has been in this area for 30 years and is family owned and operated. Here at the Monthly Grapevine, we are super excited to have Class Act be this month’s Snoop, because, they are indeed a class act and recommended by many of us here. As soon as you talk to Traci, you know you have made the right choice for your home or office. She will take the time to tell you about all their services, fees and how often they can come. They are

I think the part I personally like best about their services is they are so thorough and professional. And, they are licensed, bonded and fully insured. Now the good part, THEY DO WINDOWS! Well, of course they do. But I thought you would enjoy the humor. In addition, they clean counters, stoves, inside and outside of appliances, dust, vacuum, empty trash, dust baseboards, pictures, sills, stair rails, and all furniture. Your glass and mirrors will sparkle and they will even change your bed sheets. This is a ten pointer, as I hate stretching those fitted sheets over the corners.

Another plus, they will even clean your fridge, blinds, tile grout, floors, carpet and did I mention windows? They will even rescreen your screens. And all of this is just your home, how about your business?

You can actually grab your brief case and Class Act will take out the trash, dust, vacuum, clean your floors and totally clean the break room and bathroom.

“Start the car!” you are on your way home with no worries. I hope you are

considering Class Act at this time, but there is more. They will clean the outside of your home or office, up to two stories, and steam clean walkways and driveways too! I told you these guys were a class act. And, finally, they accept all major credit cards.

So, Traci Bernal and the entire team of Class Act Cleaning Services, this secret shopper gives you 10 feather dusters for taking such good care of all of us and bringing your professionalism and excellent customer service to the industry.

You are amazing!

Who will be snooped next, could it be you?

PATRICK MCCARRAN

picture of the condition of your home. If there are any major issues you can hire a specialized inspection. Knowing what repairs are needed and knowing the cost will also help you have a good estimate of the bottom line when you sell.

Should Sellers Have An Inspection Before Listing?

In my opinion yes, there are more good reasons for having a pre inspection than not having one. Buyers will most likely have a home inspection conducted once in contract for purchase. So why should you pay for your own? Getting a prelisting home inspection offers many key advantages to sellers that you may not be aware of. Having inspections before your house goes on the market ensures that you have all the facts so you’ll find out the exact condition of your home, which makes setting a price much easier and whether to list “as-is” or do the repairs for a better return.

I recommend three basic inspections, a general home inspection, a termite & wood destroying pest inspection, and a roof inspection. These are the primary inspections and should provide a clear

However by having your own inspection and knowing the condition of your home it can help you in negotiations if the buyer inspector has a different opinion.

Quite often buyers will use the home inspection as a negotiation tool to ask for additional concessions. A pre inspection puts the buyer on notice and that both you and the buyer are aware of any issues and all repairs from the beginning of your interaction. Negotiations still may occur, but knowing up front usually will minimize this.

Not knowing if there is something wrong with your home often adds a lot of stress to the sales process. Selling your home is never easy, to begin with. Worrying that the sale will fall through because of something that turns up during an inspection can only add to the anxiety of the escrow process.

By having a pre-inspection done, you can feel much more confident about the current condition of your home. This also allows you to set your own schedule for repairs.

While having your own inspection is an added expense it is a proactive step that puts you ahead of the curve, allowing you to see the path ahead of you much more clearly and can save you money in the long run. You can plan better, rest easier and get a better price on your home.

Buyers naturally are skeptical about a home’s condition. For many people purchasing a home will be the most money they will ever spend on a single purchase.

Handing them an inspection report that details the present condition of a home will make them feel more confident about the purchase. Having a pre inspection allows the buyer to make a more confident offer and often can lower the inspection contingency that will make the offer stronger by cutting down the exit period to cancel.

Just because you get a pre-listing inspection does not mean you will not have to go through a buyer’s inspection as well.
