Home Buyer Inspections

On average, a home inspection will take 2-4 hours to conduct, depending on the size and condition of the home.  I encourage my clients to attend the entire home inspection, from beginning to end. 


 Within 24 hours of a completed inspection, you will have your report in your e-mail inbox in the form of an easy to read PDF document.
