Buyer’s Inspection

The buyer’s inspection is a non-invasive and thorough visual inspection of a residential building. During the inspection, we will take note of the condition of the property in relation to its age and find any damage or defects with the home’s visible and safely accessible systems and components. This inspection will teach home buyers everything they need to know about the home before they purchase it.
