Pre-Listing Inspection

We usually have next-day availability or at the most, one or two days out. You can click here to view our availability based on the home’s characteristics and services requested.

A home inspection typically takes two to three hours to complete. However, the size, age, an characteristics of the home, and additional services requested may change the amount of time needed on site. Our office team will add additional inspectors as needed to keep the inspection time as close to two to three hours as possible.

The primary inspection report and reports for any added services (excluding environmental testing) will be completed and sent to you on the same day as the inspection. Usually reports are sent out between 5pm-8pm and will be accessible as soon as the inspection agreement is signed and payment has been made. Reports for indoor air quality tests and radon tests take 48-72 hours to receive from the lab that the tests are sent to for analysis.

In relation to a four-point inspection, most insurance companies will want a “clean” report before they are willing to insure the home. If deficiencies are noted on the four-point report and the seller makes repairs, an inspector will need to return to the home to verify that the repairs have been completed. Then an updated four-point report will be created to send back to your insurance company.

In relation to a full home inspection report, you may choose to have a repair verification inspection to verify the seller had repairs completed professionally on deficiencies noted in the report. However, this is not required.

In either instance, there is a trip charge if the inspector needs to go back to a home to verify repairs have been completed.
