In today’s crazy housing market, the best agents will utilize all the tools in their arsenal to land contracts and make it to closing. The home inspection is one of those tools, and many agents are not aware that there are actually several “tools” to choose from—one size does not fit all needs! So here are a few of the inspection tools to choose from that Front Porch Inspections offers:
The Classic (Buyer’s Home Inspection)
This is the classic, full home inspection that most agents are familiar with. During our inspections we look over everything from top to bottom, from attic to basement/crawlspace, from mechanical systems to outlets. (Prices start around $350.)
This type of inspection can be helpful for people wanting a full “punch-list” of things to fix/address, and this is a great way to get a comprehensive look at an entire home.
The Mini (Major Systems Inspection)
This is pared down version of the home inspection that only looks at the major components of the home, including roof, attic, basement/crawlspace, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. (Prices start around $150.)
This type of inspection is great for DIY weekend warriors, for homes that need a lot of cosmetic work but may have sound “bones”, or (alternatively) homes that are clearly in great condition.
The Consultation (Pre-Listing Consultation)
This is a complimentary walkthrough to get a high level view of a property before a home goes on the market. This pre-listing consultation aims to gather some basic information about mechanical and other major systems to include in a pre-listing packet.
