Buyer Beware!
Inspect Before You Buy!


@ Olympian, our clients thank us for the thorough
pre-purchase inspection service we provide.
We have uncovered what would have resulted in

unwanted and costly surprises for countless
prospective homeowners:

 Hire An Independent Company

  • Hiring a company affiliated with a real estate agency does  not necessarily provide an honest and thorough inspection.  Hiring an independent company stacks the odds in your favor.

 Olympian is the # 1 Independent Company!

  • Our inspections on a small structure average about 2 hours and are the most honest and thorough inspections available.

  • Our reports, ready within 24-48 hours, are computer typed, not computerized, use laymen's terms so you and your lawyer will understand everything.

  • Our inspections run from the foundation to the roof and
    include a free home warranty, a mold sample
    (internet special), a licensed termite inspection,

    a visual inspection for asbestos siding, pipe insulation and boiler covering by a Certified Asbestos Inspector / Supervisor, and notice about suspected mold & lead based paint hazards.

As another added bonus clients will receive a coupon good for 10% off at LOWE'S good
for up to up to a $5,000 purchase, a $500
savings; it's like getting the inspection for free.


Whether you are a middle-class first time home buyer,
a large or small investor, an action-packed super-hero,
or a star in a Broadway play...

 Inspector D. KANAKIS is NYC's # 1

Real Estate Inspector when a client demands
perfection & professionalism!!!

MANHATTAN HOME INSPECTIONS

 

There are all kinds of different properties within Manhattan. Some of the structures are new and some of them are old. However, it doesn't matter their age when it comes to needing a home inspection. Even the most beautiful and fit of homes needs to have an inspection when being purchased. There could be underlying plumbing, electrical, or heating and air issues that cannot be seen by the average person. Only a home inspector can see certain problems within a home. That is why many real estate contracts require that an inspector is hired to inspect the home before the purchase ever goes through.

More reasons for a home inspection

When we speak of Manhattan real estate, we associate it with high dollar properties. It is true that some of these properties are quite expensive. There are structures that once housed immigrants who were struggling financially. Now the same structures cost upward of $10,000,000 to buy, which is where many of the high-priced doctors, lawyers, and celebrities live. However, these properties are old and can have some underlying issues. Chances are, when these doctors, lawyers, and celebrities bought these properties, they had them inspected by home inspectors who are independent from the real estate agency.

The reason why you want to hire an independent home inspector in Manhattan is because their evaluation is unbiased. In some cases, not all, the inspector may alter the results to benefit the real estate agency. Although not all inspectors do such a thing, it is still safe to hire one outside of the real estate agency's own inspector. With such a high price tag, it is very important to make sure the investment is the best investment. Even on homes without such a price tag, the investment is still a very important and expensive one, so it is good to cover all angles.

That way issues such as:

 

• Electrical problems can be evaluated and brought to your attention. Electrical problems are very dangerous because they are fire hazards. The inspector will inform you of the problem, tell you it needs to be repaired, and may tell you how what avenue to take to repair it.
• Water damage can be assessed and addressed. Water damage can result in moist conditions that promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can be a health hazard.
• Plumbing leaks that can lead to water damage can be brought to your attention. Floors, walls and ceilings can be weakened by leaks and promote mold and mildew growth in places you cannot see. Leaks also result in higher water bills.
• Ventilation problems that impact the quality of your air can be pointed out. Air quality is important to stay healthy.
• Structural cracks that can compromise the stability of the structure can be addressed.
• Heating and air conditioning problems that can be dangerous or lead to costly repairs can be made aware of.

 

There are other issues that a home inspector can bring up such as problems with cracked sidewalks and other safety issues, as well as problems with the roof of the home. This allows the buyer to know their home inside and out, if they go through with the purchase. If they don’t go through with the purchase, then they can look for another Manhattan home with no or fewer problems.

Manhattan Home Inspector

 

Manhattan is home to the rich and famous, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, the United Nations, and almost two million people, many of whom own homes in the area. Considered one of the richest counties in the United States, almost everyone who lives here has a yearly income that is at least six figures, and usually more. Almost all of the homes in Manhattan are upscale, and many are quite large and elaborate. Even though this borough is one of the most desired to call home, this does not mean you should skip a home inspection just because the home you are purchasing is located here.  A Manhattan home inspector has the experience needed and the knowledge required to inspect homes that are extremely large and may contain new technology that is not present in lower cost homes. No matter which area of Manhattan the home is located in, not having a Manhattan home inspector do a complete and in depth inspection of the home can end up costing you later on if there are any problems or defects that are not noticed or apparent. Just because the home you are looking at costs a million dollars or more, does not mean that every part and component of the home is perfect and free of maintenance or repair issues. To ensure the condition of your new home is tip top, make an appointment with a certified Manhattan home inspector today!

A Manhattan home inspector is familiar and comfortable with expensive homes, and they are up to date on all the latest technology that may be used in the different systems and structures, like heated floors and other newer options. Some home inspectors may not examine higher end homes on a regular basis, and this can lead to things being overlooked due to the inspector’s lack of knowledgeable in this area. This will never happen with a Manhattan building inspector from Olympian. Part of Manhattan is located on the mainland, but a big part of it is located on an island by the same name in New York Harbor. Homes on an island and those exposed to elements like extreme ocean winds and salt spray may face unique challenges not found in other locations. Olympian’s Manhattan home inspectors are knowledgeable and experienced with these regional factors, and can recognize small signs of problems that may be missed by other inspectors.

Buying a home in Manhattan may be a dream comes true for you, but if you do not have a professional home inspection conducted by an experienced Manhattan home inspector, you may end up living a nightmare instead of happily ever after. Nothing is worse than paying an exorbitant sum for a home and then finding out there are numerous repairs that are needed and problems to be corrected. Whether you are paying one hundred thousand dollars or ten million dollars for a home, a home inspection should be considered a necessity before the deal is closed. The entire process only takes a few hours, depending on the home and circumstances, and within a few days you will get a complete report covering every inch of the home, and any problems that were found by the Manhattan home inspector. Buying a home without knowing all the facts is like buying a car without ever seeing it and the cost of a home is much more, especially in the borough of Manhattan. Always check the condition of every part of the home, so that you do not end up regretting your decision to purchase your home in Manhattan. Not hiring a Manhattan home inspector, does not make good sense.

Manhattan can be a fabulous place to call home, and homes for sale here may be few and far between. Even so, do not be pressured into buying a home without a professional quality home inspection that is done by a Manhattan home inspector, no matter how many other offers there may be, or how much the seller resists the idea. If the home has a large number of problems, or it needs expensive renovations, you may need to think hard about whether the home is worth the total cost.

If you are thinking about purchasing a home in Manhattan, contact a Manhattan home inspector at Olympian to set up an appointment for a thorough and complete professional home inspection report. This will allow you to make an informed decision after you have all the facts. Even if the home inspection reveals some problems or maintenance issues, you may still want the home. With a quality home inspection, done by a professional Manhattan home inspector, you will be able to make the right purchase decision, instead of flipping a coin.

 






Inspector Dennis Kanakis is a licensed, certified home inspector. Proudly providing home inspection services for Manhattan residents for over 18 years. Making him the leading inspector for the Borough of Manhattan.


When moving into an older home, especially in Manhattan, it is important to get your prospective purchase inspected before closing. Older constructions are notorious for hidden defects and problems.
