Pre-Purchase
Pre-Purchase
When navigating the home buying market, people want to know that the home they are considering is safe and sound to avoid unwanted expenses. Hiring an objective third party home inspector ensures that the homebuyer is protected. Pre-purchase inspections can reduce the risk of unexpected defects and bring peace of mind. Many informed home buyers have saved significantly during price negotiations based on the home inspection report. Knowing the property’s condition will bring confidence to the decision to buy or keep looking.
Pre-Listing
Pre-Listing
Anyone in the market to sell their home should consider having that property evaluated. Getting a professional home inspection before listing your property gives the seller a real advantage. Finding and addressing any deficiencies before listing helps reduce its time on the market and can increase the selling value of the home.
New Construction
New Construction
New homes can also benefit from a professional home inspection. It is possible for builders/subcontractors to miss details that can cause a defect. Defects can be due to substandard construction methods, poor workmanship, cutting corners, or items which have just been left undone. A new home inspection can reveal concerns and make the difference between being a happy home owner or dealing with unpleasant surprises.
Maintenance Inspection
Maintenance Inspection
A maintenance inspection is comparable to a dental checkup. It is preventative and only needs to happen every five years. A regularly scheduled maintenance inspection can reveal small problems before they have the opportunity to grow into big ones. A maintenance inspection also gives homeowners a chance to have a professional home inspector answer questions about the major systems and components of the home.
