Buyers Inspection

A buyer's inspection is initiated by the home buyer usually as a contingency to the final close of a real estate sale. These types of inspections are designed to assure that there are no hidden surprises for the homebuyer.  It is estimated that up to 80% of all home sales are contingent on the buyer's inspection and is a important component  of the purchase transaction.    Your real estate professional will suggest a full home inspection prior to purchasing a home.
 

Light Commercial Inspection

Business operators, commercial property managers, and commercial real estate buyers have to deal with damage and defects just like homeowners.   After all, many of the systems that are in a home exist in a commercial building as well.   We provide thorough inspection services for light commercial buildings such as retail stores, restaurants, government offices, industrial buildings and more.
