Waypoint did an extraordinary job with our pre-closing inspection, and the inspection report was very detailed and specific. Our Waypoint inspector identified several items that we would have never noticed during the inspection walkthrough with the developer. The developer agreed to repair or replace each of the deficiencies identified by Waypoint, so we are overly thrilled!
