Home Maintenance Inspections
  • A home maintenance inspection should be conducted at the property every year as part of overall home maintenance plan. It identifies any defects, safety hazards, and delayed maintenance
 
Home Inspection for Buyers   / pre-purchase inspection /
  • The inspector works for the potential home buyer to provide a written report regarding a property's condition, including an assessment of necessary or recommended repairs, maintenance concerns or other issues. A home inspection is an examination of the property's condition, and should not be confused with a home appraisal, which determines the value of the property
 
Home Inspection for Sellers   / pre-listing inspection /
  • The inspector works for the seller and generates a report for the seller. The seller then typically makes multiple copies of the report and shares them with potential buyers who tour the home for sale. Seller inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction
  • The seller can choose a certified InterNACHI inspector rather than be at the mercy of the buyer's choice of inspector
  • The seller can schedule the inspections at the seller's convenience
  • The seller can assist the inspector during the inspection, something normally not done during a buyer's inspection
  • The seller can have the inspector correct any misstatements in the inspection report before it is generated
  • The report can help the seller realistically price the home if problems exist
  • The report can help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don't exist or have been corrected
  • A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time, which:
    • might make the home show better
    • gives the seller time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors
    • permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report
    • removes over-inflated buyer-procured estimates from the negotiation table
  • The report might alert the seller to any immediate safety issues found, before agents and visitors tour the home
  • The report provides a third-party, unbiased opinion to offer to potential buyers
  • A seller inspection permits a clean home inspection report to be used as a marketing tool
  • A seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the part of the seller
  • The report might relieve a prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before they walk away
  • A seller inspection lightens negotiations and 11th-hour re-negotiations
  • The report might encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency
  • The deal is less likely to fall apart, the way they often do, when a buyer's inspection unexpectedly reveals a last-minute problem
  • The report provides full-disclosure protection from future legal claims
