Why a Home Seller Should Hire a Home Inspector?

Your house sells quicker if there are fewer problems that discourage potential homebuyers.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
; so we use a digital camera to take pictures of any interesting areas and reference them on the report. You are certainly welcome to attend the inspection and are encouraged to do so.
As owner and inspector, my goal is to provide a great inspection at a reasonable cost and answer as many questions you may have. I want you to be a knowledgeable homebuyer and provide you with "peace of mind", a bargaining tool, and an overall experience so great that you will tell your friends. |
