Choosing a home inspector for a real estate transaction can be difficult. Typically, you will not meet
the inspector until after you hire them (if at all). Different inspectors have varying experience,
qualifications, equipment, reporting methods, pricing and different work ethics. A good home
inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately the property inspection depends wholly on the
individual inspector's own effort and experience.
I am committed to providing you with the most thorough inspection and report available.
If you choose me to inspect your new home, I promise that you will not be disappointed.

My reports are in-depth yet easy to read and include photos where applicable. See my DEFECTS -
THE BEST OF THE WORST to see some of the defects encountered during my home inspections.
See a partial sample report here. Some other inspection reports have more disclaimers and filler than
actual information about the home. Other reports have just the bare minimum. I try to give you all the
information that you could want without having to wade through a lot of extra text. Your report will have
hyper links to supplemental information where needed. You can also find out just about anything you
ever needed to know about your home from my HOME INFO web page. I really do care about my
clients and I do not want you to have any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home.

Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace
of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short
time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs and what the inspector himself says
during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself
makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?

Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor
imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into one
of these categories:

Major defects. An example of this would be a foundation problem.
Things that could lead to major defects. A plumbing leak affecting wood, for example.
Safety hazards, such as exposed wiring or unsafe steps or windows.

Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected
inexpensively to protect both life and property.

Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no
obligation to repair anything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Pretty much anything can be
fixed. Do not kill your deal over things that do not matter. It is unrealistic to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance,
conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure or nit-picky items.
