During Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, I provide professional and quality service from the moment you call. I walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn, and I strictly follow Vancouver Island Standards of Practice for home inspectors.
What I Inspect
After Your Inspection
After I walk through the home with you, I will explain the general condition of the home and systems to you and your agent. I will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later, and I will point out the items you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this is detailed in my easy-to-read inspection report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items I discussed, with images for reference.
