Before you commit to buying a home, you should have a general home inspection done to make sure you know what you're getting into. Home inspectors examine the property in its entirety. That includes the physical structure of the home from roof to floorboards, plus a systems check on everything inside. The
inspection is a non-invasive, visual survey of the condition of the home and its systems.
A home is a system of interdependent parts, both mechanical and physical. Each of those elements depends on the other to function efficiently and prevent problems. Without smooth interaction, those elements degrade and chip away at the integrity of the property.
The review of the home includes analysis of the home's construction, appliance installation, maintenance, and overall structural and operational safety. The entire process takes around two or three hours and is vital to ensuring
prospective buyers
are making informed decisions in their real estate purchases.
Professional home inspectors go through rigorous training to develop a keen eye for even the slightest imperfections. Our license with the
State of Ohio
holds us to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, and we are proud to abide by them. The state's Home Inspector Program requires continuing education to ensure we are up to date on the newest appliances and trends and can properly assess their condition. For instance, smart homes are becoming more popular. You'll want someone who can know if there's anything even slightly off with the technology's function in the house.
During our inspection, we will walk through with you and evaluate the home's physical condition, including its structure, construction, mechanical systems, equipment, and finishes. We will identify any items that should be repaired or replaced before you commit to purchasing the home. We will also answer any questions you might have regarding the house and my findings.
Once the walk-through is complete, we will prepare a report of my findings, and submit it to you and your agent within 24 hours. The report is always completely honest and thorough. Remember, we work for you, not the real estate agents or person who wants to convince you to buy the home. If there's something off about the house or something that needs to be repaired, you may want to renegotiate with the seller.
Keep in mind; our inspection is a report on the condition of the home at the time of inspection. It does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of the systems or components. And though we will recommend which items should be replaced or repaired, we do not fix those things or arrange to do so during the inspection. That remains the responsibility of the seller.
