Home Inspection Types

Pre-offer Consultation

A Pre-Offer Consultation is an abbreviated inspection that verbally reviews critical components of the home so that a buyer can determine if they would like to make an offer on a real estate property. Pre-Offer Consultations are in person and run about an hour to an hour in a half in length depending on the size of the home and are a verbal consultation only. This type of inspection is recommended for a multiple-offer situation only. It is highly recommended that a buyer requests a full home inspection with a written report included if the offer to purchase the property has been accepted.

Pre-buyer & Seller Inspections

A Pre-Buyer Inspection is a home inspection ordered by the buyer for a single home, new home construction, condo or town home, multiplex, or a manufactured home. It is for the benefit of the buyer as it details any major issues or deficiencies with the property such as safety hazards and longevity of structural and internal home systems. This inspection will provide the buyer with a thorough and detailed report of the home, full of pictures and explanations, giving the buyer confidence and peace of mind. Home inspection costs are dependent on the size and scale of the property. Thermal imaging available upon request for an additional fee.

Seller Inspections are used by the seller to assist with getting the property ready for market. Having a seller inspection is a great way to avoid any unexpected issues that could arise when going into contract.

Home Maintenance Inspections

Do you own a home, but need some guidance on how to maintain it? Home Maintenance Inspections will verbally detail how a home is holding up and will let you know if there are any components that may need adjusting, correcting, or replacing. This type of inspection is for existing home owners only who need guidance for future home maintenance planning. It does not include a written report, but will include a checklist of items you should be reviewing as a home owner to keep your home in excellent condition.
