| 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. |

A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but can have the opposite effect,
especially with an older home. You need to absorb a lot of information in a short time, including
multiple inspection reports, the seller's disclosure, the agents observations and what you notice
yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming.
The main issues of concern, if any, will typically fall into one of these categories:
Anything in these categories should be addressed right away. Many of the other maintenance
and minor issues can be put off and dealt with during normal upkeep. The preventative,
performance and energy savings items can be addressed anytime.

The main issues of concern, if any, will typically fall into one of these categories:
- Major defects such as a worn roof or a foundation problem.
- Issues that could lead to significant damage if not addressed such as a plumbing leak.
- Safety hazards, such as improper wiring.
Anything in these categories should be addressed right away. Many of the other maintenance
and minor issues can be put off and dealt with during normal upkeep. The preventative,
performance and energy savings items can be addressed anytime.

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.
