Home Buyer Inspections

Pre-Purchase

For a prospective buyer, having a complete home inspection is the wisest decision. Buying a home is the most significant purchase a person will make. When people buy a car, they research, test drive, and mull over all the vehicle details for weeks or months- Yet they often decide they are buying a house in less than thirty minutes. An inspection can give you the information you need to make the right decision. We examine every accessible inch of the home and assess the condition of its systems. Our inspection is not just a rundown of deficiencies with a home; it is a time for us to educate buyers on how best to maintain and care for the home. 

The on-site inspection and written report will detail the deficiencies discovered during our visual and non-invasive evaluation. Our written report will describe these found items, provide helpful information on how to maintain your home and leave you with a powerful reference tool for the future. Additionally, our reports have a helpful tool to help the buyer develop "request lists" to discuss items of concern with the sellers.

  • With the information we provide in hand, you will be able to buy your home with confidence.

Home Owner Inspections

Post-Purchase Inspections

We understand that some buyers are waiving their option for a pre-purchase home inspection in this aggressive housing market. Don't let that stop educating yourself on what you have purchased. Right after closing, before you move in, or after you've lived in the house for six months and are wondering what that noise is…contact us and let us evaluate your home. The discovered information may save your life or protect your long-term investment. Our inspection and report can also lead you to an easier transition when you desire to move on to your next home. It is never too late to learn about your home.

Warranty Inspections

On many new construction homes, the builders will offer a warranty. Before your warranty expires, a home inspection is an excellent investment that can save you money. A thorough inspection of your home and all its systems can provide you with a list of items the builders should repair at their expense.

Home Seller Inspections

Pre-Listing/Pre-Sale

A pre-listing inspection can be a potent tool for the seller. A pre-listing inspection can alert homeowners to repairs or upgrades they may wish to address before listing their home. We approach our pre-listing inspections as we would for a prospective buyer. We go through the house inside and out, evaluating every major system and component from the roof to the foundation. This evaluation should uncover any major safety issues and deficiencies in the home that may arise during the pre-purchasing inspection. Having this information before the listing can give the seller much time to rectify major concerns and prepare the house for a smooth sale. With a pre-listing inspection, DBC Home Inspections will return to re-inspect and amend their report when repairs and upgrades are complete. A pre-listing inspection can help attract buyers who may have been apprehensive about making an offer on that older or less-than-perfect home. Like cleaning and repainting, a pre-listing inspection is money well spent when preparing a home for the real estate market.
