Pro-active planning is a much better experience than reacting to costly surprises. Real Estate is one of the largest investments an individual or company will make, and perfection doesn't exist in any property. Looks can deceive you. A wise individual chooses to be professionally informed by documenting imperfections which ultimately can reduce costs and ensure a safer environment. Accurate documentation of the properties condition will empower you in transaction negotiations or prepare you to budget for any needed corrections. Most of all, you will proceed with more confidence having a much clearer picture of the property, it's needs for now, and in the future.

Whether you choose to have a professional inspection or not, there is a price to pay. The value of having a professional inspection will certainly cost less. Click here to see WHY. Not all properties are the same in size or complexity. Price will vary accordingly. Inspecting a typical 3 bedroom 2 bath single family home will cost around $330. In today's market that's about .001 times the price. This is a very small percentage of the investment dollars at risk. Other inspections, such as insurance inspections are additional, as are termite or wood-destroying organism inspections, pool inspections, septic tank inspection, mold inspection, and/or mold testing, etc. We do not perform WDO inspections (termite and other wood-destroying organism) inspections, but we know of pest control companies who do. We do not perform septic inspections, but we know of companies who do.

There is a big difference between a pre-closing defect repair list and a post closing warranty request. Thousands of items in a new home must coordinate together. These items will not be fully tested until you move in. Also there is a big difference in a pre-closing defect repair list and a post closing warranty request. Your closing agent and construction supervisor will insure all the items on the pre-closing defect repair list are corrected BEFORE closing. This is because they must transfer a completed building to your satisfaction, or else the closing agent can hold back funds for the correction of defects. After closing all sub-contractors have been paid and gone. Now defects are added to a long warranty request list along with other properties. Warranty repairs are performed by the contractors warranty repair department at a direct cost to the contractor. There is little incentive for a speedy repair after closing

Why pay for problems your not responsible for? Many lease contracts hold the renter liable for property condition including maintenance and repairs. This means the day you sign the lease you could be responsible to fix or replace a faulty air conditioning system you assumed was fine. Furthermore at the end of a lease agreement you are responsible for the wear, tear and damage you leave behind. Unless you record the condition of a property before you occupy it, you have no proof the property is returned in the same condition as when you received it. This can leave you paying to restore a property to a condition better than when you received it. The price of a professional witness recording a properties pre-lease condition can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars.

A good inspector will spend time assessing your property and conveying its condition to you. Not all properties are the same in size, age or complexity. Inspection time will vary accordingly. Typically inspecting a 3 bedroom 2 bath single family home will take about 2 hours. Age or poor property condition can lengthen this time.

Our advanced computerized printed reports are ready for your review immediately upon completion of the inspection. We will sit with you to review the findings and answer any questions you may have. If you can't be present during the inspection you can LOG IN on this site and review, print or forward your report at will. This is especially helpful for realty professionals like Lenders, Attorneys, Title Companies, etc.

You, the buyer, are ultimately responsible to order your inspection, although most good realtors will assist you to insure you get this done. This is because typically you only have a 10 day right to inspect the property, sometimes less. At the expiration of this "right to inspect" time limit, you must proceed with the contract to purchase without an inspection. Most good inspectors are busy. Don't wait until the last minute to interview, select and schedule your inspector or your choices of inspector quality will diminish exponentially with time.

All sales and purchase contracts are different. Some contracts specify the seller is responsible for repairs and can also specify a dollar limit of that responsibility. Some "as is" contracts release the seller from repair responsibility. Often times a buyer can negotiate receiving dollars towards repairs allowing the buyer to control the quality of the repair. This is a good option. Consult your realty professional to explain the repair clause in your contract. Visit our GALLERY to see some of the common defects discovered. Then click ORDER INSPECTION to schedule our services.

Prevent losing a qualified buyer and position your property ahead of competitors. Typical purchase contracts give the buyer a "Right to Inspect" the property and can allow the buyer to cancel the purchase contract within the "Right to Inspect" time window. A Pre-Listing Inspection will expose contract challenging deficiencies and give you the opportunity to correct them. By pre-inspecting and correcting the property you are proactively preventing the loss of a qualified buyer and/or the loss of time the buyer spends challenging the condition of the property only to walk away or negotiate the deficiencies found. Also, after correcting any deficiencies and re-inspecting the property, you can distribute this positive document by printing it and/or publishing it on our web site. By inspecting your property and correcting any deficiencies, you are demonstrating your good faith to provide a quality property. This positions your property well ahead of any other like it for sale in your area.
