Buyer’s Home Inspection
A home is typically the largest purchase you’ll ever make, so it’s important to understand the existing condition before you make your investment. A thorough home inspection is a critical step in home buying, providing invaluable insights that can significantly impact your investment and peace of mind. Uncovering potential issues early not only safeguards your investment but also empowers you with the information needed to effectively negotiate with sellers.
The classic buyer’s home inspection is our standard service that features an intensive look at every critical part of the house. We will observe and report on all associated aspects of the list below. As state licensed home inspectors, we must adhere to the Standards of Practice listed in the Florida Administrative Code Chapter 61-30. Additionally, as members of InterNACHI® - the world’s largest trade organization of residential and commercial property inspectors, we must adhere to their Standards of Practice as well.
Going the Extra Mile
These standards are a minimum and include what the inspector is/is not required to inspect, but we strive to exceed the standards and go beyond your expectations with every inspection. That’s why we include a thermal imaging survey and moisture intrusion inspection as part of every full residential inspection.
As an added service to you, all of our inspections come with a free Recall Chek® report. This comprehensive report will notify you of any home appliances under a recall. Knowing this information in advance can help you negotiate the asking price and more importantly help avoid fires and other potentially hazardous incidents.
