Residential

Pre-Purchase Home Inspection

An in-depth, engineering-grade visual evaluation of readily accessible systems—explained clearly on site and delivered in a prioritized report you can hand straight to your agent for repair requests.






Overview

Negotiate from facts.

Buying a home is the largest purchase most people make, often on a few weeks of information. Our inspection closes that gap with a photographed record of the observable condition of the house.

Findings are ranked as safety hazards, major defects or maintenance items, so you know what to negotiate, what to budget for and what can wait.
