Boggs Inspection Services Offers Home Buyers Pay at Close Options to Defray Upfront Costs - ThurstonTalk

Olympia, WALocal News

Boggs Inspection Services has unveiled a Pay at Close option, enabling homebuyers to incorporate inspection fees into their final closing costs. This initiative is particularly beneficial for first-time buyers who often face significant upfront expenses during the home purchasing process. CEO Dwayne Boggs highlights the necessity of home inspections, which, while not always required by lenders, play a crucial role in safeguarding buyers' investments. He advises that previous inspection reports may not adequately reflect a property's current condition due to potential changes over time. By encouraging buyers to engage their own inspectors, Boggs aims to provide a reliable, unbiased evaluation of the home.

The Pay at Close service is designed to alleviate financial pressure, making home ownership more feasible in today's competitive market. As the real estate landscape evolves, such innovative solutions are essential for addressing the challenges faced by buyers. This approach not only enhances the buying experience but also reinforces the importance of thorough property assessments.
