What Every Buyer Needs to Know Before Closing
Every buyer Steve Charlett represents gets a home inspection. No exceptions.
A home inspection is one of the most important steps in the Colorado home buying process — and one of the most misunderstood by first-time buyers.
Here's what Steve ensures every inspection covers:
🔍 Structural elements — Foundation, walls, roof condition
🔍 Mechanical systems — HVAC, plumbing, electrical
🔍 Safety issues — Radon (significant in Colorado), carbon monoxide, smoke detectors
🔍 Moisture and water intrusion — Common in older Denver homes
🔍 Attic and crawl space — Often overlooked, always inspected
After the inspection, Steve works with clients to request repairs, negotiate a price reduction, or walk away if the issues are serious enough.
Radon deserves special mention in Colorado. The state has some of the highest radon levels in the country. Steve makes sure every buyer understands testing and mitigation before closing.
Steve recommends experienced, thorough inspectors — and he is present for every one.
