A Home Inspection is a thorough and objective visual examination of a home's condition, performed by a trained Inspector.

Your home may well be the biggest investment you'll ever make. And although the process is very exciting, it can also be overwhelming. You have chosen a home for your family, and now you need to determine its condition. I will give your home an objective Inspection, so that you have the information you need for an informed decision.

I will thoroughly inspect all major components of the property, describing problem areas as well as positive aspects that were found. The Inspection provides homeowners with a basic understanding of all systems in the home, including electrical, plumbing, heat, cooling, and related systems. (Click here for a detailed list of InterNACHI Standards of Practice.) This information can help dispel the buyer's anxieties.

In many cases, Home Inspections are performed after a sales contract has been agreed upon. The Inspection can usually be arranged within a few days. The home buyer is encouraged to attend at least the last hour of the Inspection, so that he or she can see the current condition of the home. This is an excellent opportunity for the buyer to ask questions about the home's condition.

The Home Inspector's goal is to educate the home owner, and to give that home owner a good perspective in making an informed decision.
