Know What You Are Buying

• They say, “home is where the heart is.”  We know that home is where we spend our time with family and friends.  More than likely it is the biggest investment of time and money that we will make.  Investing in a home involves an emotional investment as well as financial.
• Your income (and the mortgage company) may tell you what you can afford to buy, but it is you who will make the final decision.  When you find the right house – you will know it was meant for you.
• When we invest our money and ourselves in a house, we may not always see it clearly.  Hidden problems or health hazards can turn your dream of being a homeowner into a nightmare!
• Consulting an expert will help you make the best decision.  It’s better to know what’s right and wrong with the house before you spend your money. 

Who do you go to for help?

• Home inspectors are trained professionals who have expertise in all areas of a home, and can provide an accurate assessment of a home:  from roof to basement, from electrical to plumbing.  Home inspectors quickly determine what problems might exist beneath the surface. 

   

Our Mission

• Our mission as professional home inspectors is to identify visible defects and/or conditions that would make a home unsafe or unhealthy.  We provide you with a comprehensive written report, which can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars by pointing out systems that are failing or are near the end of their useful life.

• Prospective buyers can feel confident that they are investing wisely in their new home.    Not only will this knowledge help at the time of purchase, it also provides a base of knowledge by which you can protect and preserve your investment.

• Sellers of homes also benefit from a home inspection.  By identifying problems in advance the seller is in a better position to negotiate the sale of the property. 

• Other professionals involved in real estate sales – agents, lawyers and others – are obliged to disclose flaws or potential problems with the property.  Recommending an inspection helps meet these disclosure requirements.  An objective report could help advance the sale of the home, while avoiding unnecessary stress for all parties.
