The Process
The first question after you have reached a decision
to try to purchase a house is "how do I get a
Home Inspection?".
My philosophy on the Home Inspection process is simple.
I will make the "process" as simple and anxiety free
as possible... the way I would like to be treated if it
were me buying the house.
In that effort... to schedule an inspection:
Simply call me( 856-467-5867 ), I will answer a few questions,
ask a few questions, we will (you and me) schedule a date
and time to meet at the property, you can bring whomever
you wish, and we will spend a few hours looking at, and talking
about the house, inside and out.
or...
From this website, the Contact Form, send me a message,
I will either email you or call you back... and away we will go.
or...
You can EMail me, my personal email address is StephenMJones1@msn.com
At the site:
First things first, we will talk over the "Inspection Agreement",
I will have sent you a copy by Express Mail, which is the formal
agreement, the "who, where, when, and how" of the inspection
process, a legal contract.
Next...
we will start from the outside, walking around the house, observe
the specific details of the exterior of the structure, including the
roof, however there will not be any "we" on the roof, just me,
I will describe to you, from the roof the observations I make.
We will move into the house, room by room inspecting, testing,
observing, talking over what we see.
We will, likewise, inspect the attic, basement or crawlspace,
and garage.
(The specifics of what will be inspected by me are detailed in the "What I Inspect" section of this website.)
The inspection process will take several hours, you may bring
whomever you wish with you, I recommend having your husband,
wife, partner, agent, someone accompany you, it helps with the
questions and explainations.
When we are done with the inspection, I will verbally summarize
our observations and payment for the inspection will be accepted.
I will, within 24 - 30 hours, forward a copy of the "Inspection
Summary" to you so that you can get together with your attorney
and/or your real estate professional to take the next step in your
purchase of the property.
Within 36-48 hours, I will forward the complete Home Inspection
Report, which will include all documentation relative to our
Inspection Agreement and the Home Inspection Report, a detailed
report of every observation and/or recommendation made during
the actual on-site inspection.
Then... you buy the house, move in, BE HAPPY, and call me the
next time you are going to buy a house.
