Buying A Home Back to top
The most common home inspection performed in the industry is the pre-purchase home inspection. This is the home inspection bought and paid for by a buyer in a real estate transaction. Once an offer has been made, the buyer normally takes the responsibility for hiring a professional home inspector for verification of the condition of the property. The findings of a home inspector during a pre-purchase inspection may change the selling price of the house, and serve as negotiations tool for pricing. We strongly recommend you participate during the inspection, this will allow you to ask questions and to get familiar with the components of the home. The Inspection process will typically take 2-4 hours depending on size and condition of the home.

1 Year Warranty Inspection Back to top
Traditionally most builders offer a new construction one-year warranty which covers many aspects of repair and replacement throughout the home. If you’re living in a new construction home and you’re about to reach the first year anniversary ( 10 or 11 month) living there, DO NOT expect a phone call from your builder to inform you that your 1 year warranty is about to expired. Any defects within this time, the builder has the responsibility to get them fixed for you. Let me ask you this, why should you pay for someone else’s mistakes?
