A home purchase is one of life's biggest decisions.
We can't make that decision
for you, but we can certainly make it easier. Your peace of mind is the heart of our
business.
Buyers have a right to
know.
Yesterday's philosophy of "Let the Buyer
Beware" no longer works. Courts are now ruling that sellers must tell what they know
(and even what they should know) about their homes to prospective buyers.
However, Idaho law requires only minimal levels of
disclosure by sellers; so buyers are encouraged to obtain their own inspections.
We realize your
anxiety is high about an unfamiliar house.
That's why we
welcome your presence during the inspection. We want you to feel comfortable with
our thoroughness and inspection practices.
Nonetheless, our detailed narrative-style
reports are designed to ensure that you have all the information you need
without having to attend the inspection unless you want to and are able to.
(Many of our clients are out of state.)
Most of your concerns
can be addressed before our inspector leaves the site.
Full copies of the completed report are
often
available the following day. They are typically provided as e-mail
attachments in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. They can also be downloaded from
our website or printed and delivered.
However, you don't have to wait for the
inspector's formal report for facts that may be important and timely to your
negotiations. We will gladly provide a verbal summary of the inspection
before leaving the site if you need the information sooner.
You'll be amazed at
how comprehensively we inspect and report.
We've developed rigorous routines to discipline the
inspector's attention to a multitude of important details. The inspector can add many
valuable comments for the final report during his tour. (Average homes
can generate from 30 to
40 or more report pages.)
We deliver information
that empowers you to make sound decisions.
Your final report will address all critical and
important aspects of the property and will usually note cosmetic concerns, as well.
Maintenance information particular to your house will also be included in the report.
Upon your request, the report can also address
the estimated remaining lives of major systems and give cost-range estimates for their
repair. (Additional charges for cost estimates may apply.) |
