Core Home Inspections

An inspection gives the client an understanding of the house’s condition, good and bad.
Education is empowerment, helps to comfort doubts and eliminate surprises.

Buyer- knows what they can expect, budget for and better research contactors and materials.
Seller- knows property condition and can better, and more realistically, set a price.

It allows you to evaluate your house through the eyes of an objective third party. How will a prospective buyer see your home? How can you maximize that critical first impression?
It helps you to set the price your house realistically and gives you the ability to maximize the sale price. So many homes do not sell simply because the owner has no objective way of knowing what it’s worth to a potential buyer.
It permits you to make some, or all, of the needed repairs ahead of time so that defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later.

It may encourage the buyer to waive or reduce the inspection contingency.
It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as asbestos, radon gas or active termite infestation.
