What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is an evaluation of a home's durability and serviceability. The inspection provides an unbiased report of the home's general condition. To ensure the evaluation is objective, the home inspector does not provide estimates for repair cost nor conduct repair work on the homes they inspect. This policy follows the Code of Ethics for members of the American institute of Inspectors. The average home takes approximately 2.5 - 4 hours to inspect. After the inspection is complete, the inspector provides a report that details the findings about the home's condition.

 

Why have a Home Inspection?

A home purchase is generally the largest investment most people make in their lifetime. Decisions made at this time have long lasting consequences. A home inspector provides important information about the home for sale. The information found in the inspection enables the buyer to make an informed decision about their investments and supports the buyer's peace of mind. Prior to the listing of a home, an inspection enables the seller to be aware of home repairs that might be necessary in the sale of the home. A well-trained professional inspector helps to reduce uncertainties that come with buying or selling a home. The inspector has a trained eye and education that enables them to evaluate important components of a home.
