Pre-listing Inspection
For the home owner planning to sell, we recommend a pre-listing inspection to determine how your home will show to potential buyers.
​
We can help you maximize your bottom line with a Pre-listing Home Inspection and here's how:
​
When making an offer on your home, wise buyers nowadays include a Home Inspection as one of the conditions. In fact, many mortgage companies, banks, and insurance companies require an inspection as part of their agreement. So in all likelihood, an inspector working for a buyer will be searching your home for "defects". These "defects" are then used by the buyer and his agent as a negotiating tool. The longer the list of problems, the more clout the buyer has to negotiate.
​
Being prepared in advance with a detailed inspection report from a professional home inspector will give you a big advantage in these negotiations.
Pre-purchase Inspection
While the final decision is one only you can make, there can be no doubt that a professional pre-purchase home inspection is the single most cost-effective step you can take to help you in your choice. Now is the time to go take a closer look at what you're buying. Whether this is your first home or your fifth, this is an exciting and at the same time a very stressful time in your life. That is where we can help.
​
When we meet at the premises, we will clarify the scope of practice of the home inspection. We describe the roof and tour the exterior, describing systems and investigating areas of concern as we come to them, before moving on to the interior systems and components. The inspection follows a systematic and thorough routine. You are invited to ask questions as we go and we will make every attempt to clarify points which are unclear to you during the inspection. However, the report will cover all the issues in detail, so taking notes should not be necessary. Our goal is to provide quality service and we wish to describe the issues as clearly and accurately as possible.
Pre-delivery Inspection
Having an unbiased inspection by certified home inspector before you take possession of your new home or condominium will ensure that you get the most out of your new home warranty. During the PDI, it is very important to identify any items that are damaged, missing, incomplete or not operating properly and have these conditions noted on the PDI Form.
Your builder is required to present you with a copy of the Homeowner Information Package at the PDI (unless it was presented to you by your builder at an earlier date). ThePackage contains important information regarding warranty coverage.
