Listing Inspection/Sellers Inspection
If you are selling a home, You will get the highest price in the shortest time, if your home is in top condition. And you want to find out about any hidden problems before your house goes on the market. Almost all sales contracts include the condition that the contract is contigent upon completion of a satisfactory inspection. This is known as the inspection contingency. Buyers will insist on a professional home inspection preformed by an inspector they will hire. If the buyers inspector finds a problem, it can cause the buyer to get cold feet and th deal can often fall through. At best, suprise problems uncovered by the buyers inspector will cause delays in closing and usually you will have to pay for repairs at the last minute
or take a lower price on your home.
Its better to pay for your own inspection before putting your own on the market. Having a pre-listing inspection done will make the whole sale process easier. Find out about any hidden problems and get them corrected in advance, on your own terms. Otherwise, you can count on th buyers inspector finding them, causing delays and costing you more money.

Pre-Purchase Inspection
When buying a home, you should always have a professional certified home inspection preformed. You need to know exactly what you are getting. The professional home inspection will reveal any hidden problems, making your buying decision much easier and more confident.
When we inspect the home we look at the systems that make up the building such as:
Structural elements, founation, framing etc...
Plumbing systems
Roofing
Electrical systems
Cosmetic condition, paint, siding etc...
You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer. Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. Then, arrange for an inspector of your choosing to come inspect the house and pay close attention to the inspection report. If you are not comfortable with what we find, you should demand that the seller correct the problems before closing or negotiate for a lower purchase price or better terms to compensate.
The professional certified home inspection will reduce the risk of costly suprises and what is likely to be the largest purchase you will ever make. It helps you to make
a more informed, more comfortable decision.
