Pre-Purchase inspections, also known as the buyers inspection help to ensure that the home of your dreams is in the condition you expect. Having knowledge of the property condition before purchase allows for an informed buying decision and reduces the risk of major costly issues. Knowing and understanding the condition of the property and the components therein is crucial as a home owner.
Pre-Purchase inspections can also be used as a bargaining chip at the offer table. Previously unknown issues that may incur substantial cost can be leveraged and used in the negotiation process. Example: The listing may note that the roof is "new", but is there moisture in the attic?

In some instances, while not ideal, it is not always possible to have an inspection performed prior to purchase. This doesn’t mean that you should not know of any issues that need be addressed to protect you in the long term and ensure your home is a safe place. Post Purchase inspection services do just that and ensure buyers know their home. Post inspection services are completed in the same manor as a pre-inspection and include a full comprehensive report, list of any defects along with a suggested time frame for any needed repairs.

Home inspections are becoming a necessity for home buyers. Pre-Listing inspections help the home seller gain an advantage in the selling process. Sellers who have knowledge of any deficiencies will have the ability to correct problems before the home buyer finds them. In doing so the seller may increase the value of the property and reduce the time on the market. These inspections are ideal for full transparency between both buyer and seller and provide a high level of consumer protection.

It is proven that homes with pre-listing inspection reports made available to potential buyers sell more quickly and with less hassle.

Take advantage of the opportunity to have an inspector come along during a viewing of a prospective property and answer questions and field concerns that home buyers may have while a visual inspection is performed. Given the obvious time constraints, this is not a "formal" inspection involving an official report and is offered at a lower cost. However, the cost of this service is deducted from the total cost of an official inspection should you choose to have one!
This is a great opportunity to learn about the property before offers are presented.
