STANDARD HOME INSPECTION or PRE-PURCHASE (Buyer's) INSPECTIONS
A Pre-purchase inspection is usually performed after a property has been put on the Real Estate market by a Seller, but before a potential Buyer has taken possession of the property (prior to the closing). The Buyer will usually sign a contingency agreement with the Seller prior to ordering this type of inspection. If a property fails to meet the Buyer's expectations as a result of the home inspection, then the sale of the home could be jeopardized. In many cases, a Buyer's Inspection will help both the Buyer and the Seller to identify damages or other issues that may exist with a property so that both parties can either renegotiate the selling price or the Seller has the option of taking the responsibility of repairing the property at the Seller's expense, prior to close of escrow.
Even if the Seller has already performed a Seller's Inspection and has a report from another home inspector, Buyers should always perform their own home inspection to prevent "Seller's bias" in any way, shape or form.
PRE-LISTING (Seller's) INSPECTIONS
Pre Listing or "Seller" Inspections are normally performed by the Seller prior to listing the home on the real estate market, but it can also be performed while the home is actually listed. The earlier the Seller has this inspection performed, the more time they will have to make needed or wanted repairs. This will greatly decrease the likelihood of a long list of repairs from the Buyer, which in turn, will speed up the sale and closing process.
NEW CONSTRUCTION (BUILDER) INSPECTIONS
New Construction inspections are usually performed immediately after your new home has been built and is considered "ready" for occupancy by the builder and appropriate legal authorities (such as a zoning or code inspector).
BANK LOAN (DRAW) INSPECTIONS
Bank Loan Inspections are required by all Lending Institutions to determine the amount of work that has been completed at a construction site so that the Borrower (a Construction Company or Home Builder) can draw on their loan. I provide this inspection service to construction lenders throughout the United States. I act as the eyes and ears for Lending institutions that are prepared to commence on a partial payment of a construction loan for residential and commercial buildings. I report on the current condition of a construction site by providing Lenders with an accurate snapshot of each building that is under construction or ready for renovation. All bank draw inspections are performed and the reports are submitted to the Lending institution within hours of being requested.
