Buyer Inspection Services in Raleigh Garner, NC

Yes! Beyond standard reviews, we gladly offer specialized testing including termite inspections, air quality, and more. Our team works hard to inspect for anything that might bring down the property value of a home or put your safety and risk.

On average, a thorough home inspection for a standard single-family home takes between two to four hours. This duration can vary based on the size of the property, the age of the home, and the complexity of its systems.

An inspection report is a tool for negotiation, not a pass/fail grade. If major defects are discovered, you can ask the seller to make repairs before closing, request a credit to cover the costs of future repairs, or renegotiate the sale price. In cases where the issues are too severe or the seller refuses to compromise, a standard inspection contingency allows you to back out of the contract without losing your earnest money.

While not a legal requirement, we highly recommend that buyers be present during the inspection. This provides a firsthand opportunity to walk through the property with the inspector, who can explain specific findings and demonstrate how the home's various systems operate.

Most of the time, the buyer covers the cost of the home inspection at the time the service is performed. These fees are generally separate from the final closing costs, though the buyer and seller may negotiate different arrangements during the contract phase.
