Pre-Purchase

For prospective buyers, a comprehensive home inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make. Purchasing a home is often the largest financial decision in a person’s life. People may spend weeks researching and test-driving a car, yet many decide on a home in less than an hour. A professional home inspection provides the information and confidence needed to make an informed decision.

We carefully examine every accessible area of the home and evaluate the condition of its major systems and components. Our inspections go beyond simply identifying deficiencies; they are also an opportunity to educate buyers on proper home maintenance, operation, and long-term care.

Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed written report outlining the findings from our visual, non-invasive evaluation. The report clearly explains any issues discovered, includes helpful maintenance recommendations, and serves as a valuable reference guide for future homeownership. In addition, our reports include a convenient feature that allows buyers to create repair or request lists to discuss concerns with the seller.

Post-Purchase Inspections

We understand that some buyers are waiving their option for a pre-purchase home inspection in this aggressive housing market. Don't let that stop educating yourself on what you have purchased. Right after closing, before you move in, or after you've lived in the house for six months and are wondering what that noise is…contact us and let us evaluate your home. The discovered information may save your life or protect your long-term investment. Our inspection and report can also lead you to an easier transition when you desire to move on to your next home. It is never too late to learn about your home.

Pre-Listing/Pre-Sale

A pre-listing inspection can be a potent tool for the seller. A pre-listing inspection can alert homeowners to repairs or upgrades they may wish to address before listing their home. We approach our pre-listing inspections as we would for a prospective buyer. We go through the house inside and out, evaluating every major system and component from the roof to the foundation. This evaluation should uncover any major safety issues and deficiencies in the home that may arise during the pre-purchasing inspection. Having this information before the listing can give the seller much time to rectify major concerns and prepare the house for a smooth sale. With a pre-listing inspection, DBC Home Inspections will return to re-inspect and amend their report when repairs and upgrades are complete. A pre-listing inspection can help attract buyers who may have been apprehensive about making an offer on that older or less-than-perfect home. Like cleaning and repainting, a pre-listing inspection is money well spent when preparing a home for the real estate market.

Warranty Inspections

On many new construction homes, the builders will offer a warranty. Before your warranty expires, a home inspection is an excellent investment that can save you money. A thorough inspection of your home and all its systems can provide you with a list of items the builders should repair at their expense.

With the information provided in your report, you will purchase or sell your home with confidence.
