 Benefits

Realtors recommend that buyers and sellers obtain professional home inspections for their own protection.  A home inspection has become a “must have” for home buyers and a valuable marketing tool for sellers. 

Here’s why — an independent home inspector is completely objective.

Buyers want to know that a home is safe, structurally and mechanically sound, and free of health risks. 

Sellers want recommended repairs to enhance the marketability of their home.  A home inspection can help you sell your home faster at the highest possible price.
