Home Inspections

Why not! It is highly recommended that all clients attend the inspection. This will give you the perfect opportunity to ask the inspector questions and better educate yourself on the condition of the home. The inspector will also be able to give you helpful tips that you wouldn't receive if you did not attend the inspection.

Regardless of home ownership experience, most owners lack the training and understanding of a home and its systems and how they work. A good home inspector acts like a detective looking for clues on how the home and it systems are performing. We also understand what is required to prevent problems from occurring and how to maintain a home to keep it in top shape.

For most of us buying a home is the largest investment we will ever make. Learning as much as possible about that investment before you commit to it will reduce your chances of running into unexpected problems that can be financially devastating and very stressful.

Having an inspection will give you confidence when you make that big decision.Home inspections are not only for people looking to purchase a home. Current homeowners can use an inspection to identify potential problems and become proactive in preventing any issues from escalating before serious damages occur, thus saving you time and money in the future.

Having an inspection before you place your home on the market is also an intelligent decision. This allows any problems or concerns to be identified before potential buyers make an offer on your home. Any issues or concerns found during the inspection can be corrected and documented to show to potential buyers. Buyers will feel more comfortable buying a house where the current owners are disclosing all previous information on the home. Making any repairs to concerns also gives the seller more leverage to gain the maximum dollar for their home as well as facilitating a much smoother and quicker selling transaction.

The price of an inspection can vary depending on a few factors such as age of the home and its size. One thing to keep in mind when searching for an inspector is to check whether they are really qualified to be performing an inspection. Don't be fooled by inspectors whose training consists of a weekend course or taking an online exam, make sure to check for qualifications before hiring an inspector, because "You get what you pay for!"

A home can never pass or fail an inspection. A professional home inspection is a visual examination of the home that describes the conditions found during the time of inspection. The inspection process is meant to educate the client on the conditions found so they can make an educated decision about the property for themselves.

Reports are always generated within 24 hours of the inspection. In some cases the report will be available on the same day of inspection. The inspector will always let you know when you can expect your report.
