Warranties Included with all Full Home Inspections

Realtors- The importance of a Home Inspection not only for the seller or buyer it is  also important to you. The role of a Inspector is not to kill a deal, its to provide a third-party impartial inspection which can aid in the issue of disclosure responsibility and potentially lessen liability for everyone. Although there are times that items that are identified during a inspection can delay a closing and yes might not bring a deal to closing we are believers that a pre-list inspection is a important inspection to minimize 11th hour delays and maximize market price for your seller,while your buyers anxiety and general questions are already answered about the home with a inspection from Residential Inspection.

Real Estate Inspection Helpful Hints

• Verify the inspection date time and who will be there.
• If you are not attending the inspection, please let the inspector know how to gain access.

If there are items that are not operable please call the client and explain this to them,so they may decide whether or not to reschedule the inspection.Inspection dates and times are set and second trips for home inspectors are usually not for free and buyers liable for a return fee,which upsets everyone.
