Residential
Inspections
Starting at
$400
If you’re planning on buying or selling a home, then hiring a home inspector could save you thousands of dollars. It will also help you understand the property you want to buy and the possible defects. For sellers, it can provide insight into a home to know what to expect and can make repairs before listing a property.
Pre-listing
Inspections
Starting at
$400
A pre-listing inspection can not only help expedite the selling process, but potentially even increase the property’s sale price. Additionally, they can help reduce the chances of a sale falling through due to unexpected issues with the property being discovered during the negotiation or buyer’s inspection.

FAQ.
Day of Inspection
Should I walk around the house with you?
Absolutely. I’m happy to explain everything I’m looking at. There will be times where I need to focus and evaluate, but feel free to tag along and ask questions.
Can my agent be there too?
Yes! Agents are encouraged to be there and be engaged so they can know what they’re writing up in your Repair Request Addendum.
The Report
What should I be looking for?
My reports have lots of images to help you recall what you’re looking at. I break down my reports into areas that are safety hazards and other recommended items to fix/ask for.
The summary will be the most helpful area of the report, right at the top.
Will there be recommendations on who to call?
With each defect I include which type of contractor you will need to search for to get quotes.
Follow-up
Can I call you if I have questions after I get the report?
Absolutely. This is one of my favorite parts. Call, text or email.
Contractors
Can you give me some preferred contractors to call?
I don’t recommend any contractors, but I do encourage people to do research on contractors beforehand.
