A pre-listing home inspection is an inspection that a homeowner arranges before putting their property on the market for sale. The goal is to identify any potential issues or repairs that may need attention before listing the home. This allows the homeowner to address problems upfront, potentially increasing the home's value and appeal to buyers. By fixing issues early, the homeownwer can avoid surprises during the buyer’s inspection and may have a smoother, quicker sale process. It can also help set a realistic asking price based on the condition of the home.

A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough evaluation of a home before you finalize your purchase. It provides the client with a detailed understanding of the property's condition, from the foundation and roof to plumbing, electrical systems, and everything in between. By identifying any issues or needed repairs upfront, this inspection helps the client make a confident, informed decision before the purchase. It can also empower the client to negotiate with the seller for repairs or a price adjustment, ensuring you get the best value and avoid unexpected surprises after closing.

A new construction home inspection is a detailed evaluation of a newly built home, typically conducted before the buyer takes possession or at various stages of construction. This inspection ensures that the home is built according to the approved plans, local building codes, and industry standards. It covers everything from the foundation and structure to the plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes. While new homes are generally free of major issues, a new construction inspection can uncover potential flaws or oversights by the builder, allowing the buyer to address them before moving in and ensuring the home is truly move-in ready.

An 11-month inspection is a thorough evaluation of a newly built home conducted just before the builder’s one-year warranty expires. Its purpose is to identify any construction defects, safety concerns, or warranty issues—such as settling cracks, improper installations, or unfinished work—while the builder is still responsible for repairs. By documenting these issues in a professional inspection report, homeowners gain leverage to have necessary corrections made at no additional cost, ensuring the home remains safe, functional, and well-maintained beyond the warranty period.
