Personal Inspection

I will provide a personalized inspection of your home.
A home inspection is an evaluation of the overall condition of a residential property, which is useful for both home buyers and home sellers, as well as real estate professionals. It helps the parties to a home sale understand the functions of the various systems and components of the home, as well as the maintenance issues related to home ownership.
A general home inspection is a non-invasive evaluation of the visible and accessible structure, systems and components of a home. While a home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists, and is not a warranty of the current or future condition of the home, an InterNACHI-Certified Professional Inspector® is trained to identity material defects within a home’s specific systems and components that may have a significant, adverse impact on the value of the property, as well as those that pose m unreasonable risk to the home’s occupants.
In addition to the standard items listed here, call me to find out about my specialized inspection services.
