Comprehensive Home Inspections
Buying a home could be the most significant financial commitment you ever make, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting into before you sign that contact. And that’s where we come in.

Home Inspections for Buyers
Buying a home is a big investment, and you should know exactly what to expect before you purchase. A home inspection will give you a clear picture of urgent issues that need to be addressed, as well as future repairs and maintenance that you should keep in mind.
Ask your real-estate agent about including a clause in your offer to purchase that ensures it is contingent upon the findings of a certified home inspector.
Red flags in a report need not put an end to the negotiations, but you may decide to amend your offer based on the results.
The Benefits of Pre-Listing Inspections for Sellers
- Give you the opportunity to make repairs, get estimates, or hire a contractor prior to listing.
- Show buyers you are being proactive and providing full disclosure accompanied by professional reports.
- Allow you to price your home accurately, potentially reducing time on the market.
