"WE GO BEYOND THE BASICS"

We pride ourself on providing consistent, thorough, and professional home inspection services. Our home inspectors evaluate the condition of the propertyā€™s major systems and structural integrity, but also evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced. In all up to 150 check pionts will be tested and evaluated during the most complete home inspection available in the industry. You will also receive a thorough report on all aspects of the property.

Having your home inspected prior to permitting buyers to view the property has many distinct advantages. One of the key benefits will be your preparedness for the sale; if any problems are discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the repairs done on your own terms, on your own schedule, saving you money.

Our experience has shown that most homes that receive a pre-sale home inspection spend less time on the market and sell at prices closer to the listing price.

A Pre-listing inspection will provide prospective buyers peace of mind and may limit price negotiations during the sales process. Youā€™ll also have an advantage over other properties the buyer is considering that may not have a report available. We will even assist you in marketing your home! Inspect-It 1st will provide you with a 'Pre-Inspected' sign for your front yard for all realtors and prospective buyers to see.

At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyerā€™s inspector may cause delays in closing, and you will usually have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or accept a lower price on your home. With the condition of the property being a distinct differentiator, why not be prepared and ready, rather than unprepared and reactionary.

If repairs are needed, you have two alternatives:

You can elect to make the needed repairs, providing our inspection report and documentation that the work was performed (receipts and warranties) to all potential buyers as they preview your home.
You can elect not to make the repairs, taking into consideration the problem areas as you decide on your listing price and subsequent buyer negotiations.
Either way, you are well positioned, having both knowledge and time on your side.

If you are selling your home and you need to correct certain building defects, it is in your interest to take care of it before putting your house on the market. It's important to highlight the best aspects of your house and to take care of any major problems before potential buyers see it. Be sure to follow local building codes while renovating. You might consider getting it inspected first yourself so that you are aware of what the buyers will see in an inspection report. The more serious problems there are with your house, the more leverage a buyer has for bargaining you down. A good home inspection will reveal any serious problems, as well as a list of small problems that are much easier to fix.

Potentially serious problems that could be dealbreakers include: current or recent evidence of termite infestation, mold (especially black mold) water damage, structural defects, EIFS defects, EIFS water damage, asbestos, radon exposure, or even, should a buyer choose to inspect for it, excessive lead paint (only a potential problem in pre-1980 homes). Some types of mold are toxic and can cause asthma and chronic sinus infections. The more humid the climate is, the greater the risk for mold. Water damage can start small and quickly morph into a major headache. Radon, a naturally occurring gas, can cause lung cancer, as can asbestos. Furthermore, all of these problems can be costly to fix, so many buyers will just walk away.

Please use this site as a resource for finding out more detailed information about these kinds of building defects and the effect they might have on your home's resale value. Most of all, if you are experiencing problems with any of these issues, don't despair. Remediation, while expensive, will save you money and trouble in the long run. Look for contractors who have experience solving your particular problem.
