You are about to make an offer
A pre-purchase inspection reveals faults before you buy rather than after. Every part of the property gets checked for signs of damage: the interior, the exterior and all the major systems. There is a discounted rate for new home buyers.
You are preparing to list
Finding out what a buyer's inspector is going to find puts the surprises on your side of the table, while you still have the choice to fix, disclose or price it.
You suspect there is a problem
A musty first floor, unexplained allergy symptoms, pinpoint holes in the trim, sawdust on the floor, a stain that keeps coming back. Inspection, air quality testing and termite and moisture removal all run from the same office.
