For Home Buyers:
What could be more exciting than buying a home? The experience of a new community, new neighbors and friends, and perhaps even a whole new outlook on life can be quite exhilarating.
Our inspector will conduct a thorough 400+ point evaluation of the home, helping you understand the property’s current condition. Our home inspector is trained and certified to meet the industry’s highest standards.
We know the home-buying process can be very stressful, and nothing could be worse than suddenly finding out that there are major defects with the property you just purchased. Our thorough and professional home inspections help ensure your familiarity with the home and the condition of its major systems; our findings are then presented to you in our comprehensive report. Once armed with this knowledge, it will help you feel more secure about your purchasing decision.

For Real Estate Professionals:
More and more real estate professionals are encouraging home buyers to invest in a professional home inspection before purchasing a property. Additionally, a growing number of agents are even suggesting pre-listing inspections to sellers. The reason is simple – a quality real estate inspection is to the advantage of everyone involved in a transaction. Buyers learn about the property up front and can proceed with greater confidence and peace of mind. Furthermore, sellers who’ve had a pre-listing inspection may sell their homes more quickly and with fewer surprises. Finally, real estate professionals enjoy more efficient transactions with less chance for unpleasant and potentially costly post-closing problems.
A home inspection offers these and other benefits to real estate professionals:
Reduced Liability – We carry extensive Errors and Omissions insurance and General Liability insurance.
Less Buyer Discomfort – Whether the property your client is considering is old or new, our professional inspectors help provide peace of mind that the home is live-in ready.
Curtailed Buyer’s Remorse – Many homebuyers believe that a brand-new home is a worry-free investment. But even the best homebuilders make mistakes, and that’s where we can help. Our impartial inspectors can conduct a new home inspection that may disclose items in need of repair, therefore helping to reduce buyer’s remorse after the purchase.
Professional Image and Credibility – A professional home inspection report helps lend credibility and stature to the image of the real estate professional. It can tell customers that the firm and its sales associates are working in the best interests of both the buyer and seller.
More Sales – The home is priced closer to its value, which can help improve the speed and likelihood of a sale.
Less Negotiation – Prior acknowledgement of any defects that are already reflected in the sales price may often leave buyers with fewer objections.
Reduced Listing Time – A home inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight into the condition of the home, thereby helping to reduce the overall listing time of your client’s property. A pre-listing inspection helps provide a more accurate depiction of a home’s condition, and allows everyone to become more familiar with the property. This may help your listings sell faster and closer to the asking price.
