Home Buyer Inspection
A buyers inspection is designed to provide the buyer with a thorough evaluation of the home and property during the inspection contingency time period. Buyers typically have a 5 - 10 day inspection contingency written into the contract which should only be lifted once any defects or repairs have been corrected by the seller in a manner that satisfies the buyer. A written report is provided in a timely manner to both the buyer and the buyers agent (if applicable). The report details any defects or repairs that may be needed.

Pre-Inspection
A pre-inspection service is typically utilized by buyers on tight time lines. Frequently, these are homes up for auction, or multiple offer situations.

This is an hourly service tailored to the needs of the client and the specific property to be inspected. Typically these are verbal opinions without written

Warranty Home Inspection
This inspection is for owners, usually shortly before their new home warranty expires. We make every effort to see that you get the value that you paid for in purchasing your new home. If there are problems, we carefully document them with photos and written descriptions. We often take calls after the inspection is over for clarification of the issues we discover. Most builders and warranty companies are
reluctant to make repairs, so we do our best to see that your problems are addressed properly.
