What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a non-invasive examination of the condition and functionality of a residential property, typically conducted by a licensed professional known as a home inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to identify potential issues or defects in various aspects of the house.  A thorough home inspection provides valuable information to buyers about the condition of a property before making a purchase decision. It can also help sellers identify any necessary repairs or improvements that may enhance the market value of their home. A home inspection is a visual inspection of the home, top to bottom, to include all major systems of the home. The Inspector is a licensed, trained professional and inspects each home with a certain routine as to not miss anything. The inspection does take several hours. Please be aware that our Inspectors RECORD every inspection for accountability and educational purposes. This allows the Inspector to focus on the deficiencies of the home and to find all that he can for you. Our Inspectors are meticulous and a thorough report will be sent to you via email

It's Home Inspection Day: What Should I Expect?

The Inspection:  The Home Inspector arrives promptly at the property and performs a detailed walk-through of both the interior and exterior areas, inspecting all major systems of the home. The inspection generally takes 3-4 hours depending on the size of the property and number of outbuildings.

Documenting Findings:  During the inspection process, the Home Inspector will take multiple photographs and notes of any deficiencies or issues found at the home. In addition, our Inspectors record every inspection from the time they arrive at the property to the moment they leave, to every include every conversation.  Although, the video is for accountability and educational purposes, at the Inspector’s discretion, he may choose to include a video clip in the report to further describe a deficiency.

Meeting the Inspector:  The clients/buyers may attend the inspection at the designated meet time.  The meet time is a 30-minute window at the end of the inspection in which the Inspector will be happy to go over the home inspection findings and answer any questions about the home.

Inspection Report:  After completing their visual examination onsite, the Inspector will return to his home office and generate a comprehensive report highlighting their findings - including both major concerns that need immediate attention as well as minor issues that may require future repairs/maintenance jobs.  The report is emailed to the client/agent the evening of the inspection.

Reviewing Results: Clients are encouraged to read the report in its entirety, so they can make informed decisions regarding purchasing negotiations or requesting repairs before closing.
