Home Seller's Inspection:
This inspection is identical to a home buyer's inspection. This allows the seller to know “now” if problems or defects exist prior to listing the home. This is becoming very popular in our industry today. Don't waste time and energy negotiating a price for your home only to be “surprised” later. It can allow you to make repairs ahead of time. It simply reduces your liability and supports documentation to your disclosure statement.
New Home Warranty Inspections:
This inspection is performed prior to the expiration of your home warranty. It’s needed to take advantage of your home warranty to assure that necessary repairs guaranteed under your warranty are performed due to discovered problems. Protect your investment! You may pay thousands of your own money when the builder is still responsible.

* We reserve the right to charge an additional fee for foreclosures, HUD properties, investment properties, rentals, de-winterizing, and homes in distress.
