Buyers' Inspection
In both new and older homes, the best way to ensure that you are well informed about the strengths and weaknesses of a property is to have us give you a professional home inspection. We are trained to identify problem areas both small and large that may have been overlooked by the previous owners and to identify which require immediate attention. See our Inspection Overview and Sample Inspection Report.
Pre Listing Inspection
Today's market is a "Buyers choice market" Thousands of homes are for sale and buyers have plenty to choose from. By having a pre listing inspection performed on the property you are selling you will have a sharp edge over your competition. The home inspection will point out "Major Concerns" that should be addressed so they don't deter or "Scare" buyers away from the house when it is inspected by the buyer's inspector. If we perform a pre listing inspection for you, you can advertise that "This home was pre-inspected by Patriot Home Home Inspections". We also provide your with 50 Printed Out Summary Reports that you can distribute to potential buyers. We will also serve as your home expert by providing the buyer a One-on-One consultantion where we will walk them through the entire report and educate them on the home they are purchasing. There is a small fee for the consultation service which is typically paid for by the buyer, but it provides them with valuable information on the home being purchased.
This service is a powerful marketing advantage! If you were buying a home wouldn’t you feel more comfortable knowing the property was pre inspected! For more information refer to Pre Listing "Giving Your Home a Competitive Sales Advantage".
1 Year Builders Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain a home inspector's list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a large sum of money down the road!
