  • When is the best time to get a home inspection?

    Home inspections are usually arranged after the buyer and seller reach an agreement and sign a sales contract, which is often contingent on a satisfactory inspection. It’s recommended to schedule the inspection promptly, typically within a 7 to 10-day inspection period. The goal is to provide the buyer with a comprehensive understanding of the home’s physical condition. After the inspection, a detailed written report is provided to the buyer, outlining the findings. While the report highlights the home’s strengths, it can also uncover issues that might help the buyer negotiate a better price.

  • Should I attend the home inspection?

    Yes, we strongly encourage buyers to be present during the inspection. Attending allows you to gain a clearer understanding of the property from the inspector's perspective and helps you interpret the final report more effectively. Additionally, attending gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get immediate answers.

  • What is the cost of a home inspection?

    Inspection costs vary based on factors such as the property's age, size, number of stories, and type. For an exact quote, please contact our office or complete our online form.
