Residential Home Inspections

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home.  The standard home inspector's report will include an evaluation of the condition of the home's heating system, central air conditioning system, interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof, attic, and visible structure.  

The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make.  You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy, enabling you to minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties afterwards.

Of course, a home inspection will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape.  After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase, and will be able to make a confident buying decision.

It is recommended that you attend a walkthrough review of the home inspection.  By observing and having the ability to ask questions, you will learn about the condition of the home, how its systems work and proper maintenance guidelines.

Real estate markets fluctuate, but one thing that never changes is a buyer’s desire to purchase a property that is in good condition. If you’re selling your house and want it to stand out from the other properties that are on the market, consider having a pre-listing home inspection done by Spring Inspections.

A pre-listing inspection is a complete residential home inspection that is initiated and completed by the seller prior to listing. There are many known benefits:

1. A pre-inspection can alert you to problems that you weren’t aware of and give you the opportunity to address them before listing.
2. A pre-inspection can help prevent unexpected surprises or delays from happening when an interested buyer hires a home inspector to perform a property inspection.
3. Knowing all the details will help you and your realtor to price the property accurately.
4. Not only does a home inspection show you what needs to be improved, it can also help you highlight the many positive traits of the property.
5. Professional inspection reports from Spring Inspections will show buyers that you are negotiating fairly and offering full disclosure – making them more likely to make an offer.
6. If you’ve addressed the necessary issues and have priced your property fairly, there should be less negotiating to worry about, and you shouldn’t have any low-ball offers to contend with.
7. A pre-inspection can help reduce the time your property sits on the market and help you get the best possible price on your home.
