What to Expect From Your Inspection

Most inspections will take between 2-3 hours depending on the size and age of the home. At the completion of the inspection we will sit down with you and go over the major issues that need to be addressed. We will also explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent.

All of this will be detailed in an easy to read report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
