Hartwell Home Inspection
The purpose of a thorough home inspection is to ensure that Hartwell home buyers know exactly what a home’s condition is prior to completing the transaction. A good Hartwell home inspection should include an evaluation of the foundation, framing, roofing, site drainage, attic, plumbing, heating, electrical system, fireplaces, chimneys, pavement, fences, stairs, decks, patios, doors, windows, walls, ceilings, floors and built-in appliances. All significant or pertinent findings should be reported in writing to the prospective Hartwell homebuyer. The home inspection report gives the Hartwell homebuyer the information he or she needs to determine whether to buy the property as is or to ask the seller to make repairs.

Bitten by the Hartwell Home Improvement Bug?
Money isn’t everything however so that if the most important consideration for remaining in your Hartwell home happens to be the school where your children attend or the proximity to your work or to a particularly attractive recreational opportunity then remodeling may be the best option. On the other hand, if the idea of having your Hartwell house torn up for weeks at a time makes your blood run cold, it really doesn’t matter how much money you might make turning a fixer-upper into a model home. You will be far better off selling the home you have and moving to a home that better fits your needs.
The Benefits of Selling Hartwell
If your Hartwell holdings consist of both a personal residence and a rental, you can sell your personal residence and exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for a married couple) on the gain. Then you move into your rental, live in it as your personal residence for two years and then sell it, again benefiting from the $250,000 or $500,000 exclusion. This is true even though most or all of the increase in value occurred before you converted the property to your personal residence.
