Home Inspection puts $3500 in home buyers pocket!


 You would be surprised if I shared all the things I've seen in my 10 years as a Home Inspector. Did you ever think a seller would nail pieces of 2x8 in to cover up termite infested wood at the sill plates? How 'bout loading all their belongings up against a deteriorating basement wall. Here's one: Nailing the attic hatch closed to prevent the Home Inspector from seeing the black mold on the underside of the roof decking.  Alright, so what do you do when you're a home buyer and you want to make sure your buying a house that you feel confident with? Or, what do you do when you're a Realtor and you want to protect your clients? Answer: you find a Home Inspector that really cares. A Home Inspector that loves what they do and wants to help the buyer get into a house they can make their home. A Home Inspector that also wants to help make the transaction as easy as possible, while educating everyone along the way.

 The importance of having a home inspection goes without saying. Well, you would think so but some people actually don't even get their house inspected. The way we look at that is, They don't know what they don't know. So, it's our job, "The Home Inspector" is to educate people on just how important a home inspection is. We hope to earn your business of course, but I couldn't sleep at night unless I know I've done everything I can to help home buyers and share my knowledge as a Home Inspector.

 A recent customer told us that they were not going to get an inspection because they had a relative that was a contractor, but their bank required an inspection by a licensed Home Inspector so they reluctantly called us.

 This is where it gets good......

 After they closed on the house, we received a thank you card in the mail. Here's what it said:

 " We just wanted to thank everyone at House Detective for a great experience. We were not going to have the house at xx xxxxxxxxx St.  inspected but our bank required it. After we had our contractor go through it and gave it a clean bill of health we thought it would be a waste of money to get an inspection. Boy, were we wrong! Not only did our contractor miss half the things you guys reported, but we also saved $5000 on the house due to the needed repairs in the report that only cost us $1500 to have done. We are now moved in with an extra $3500 in our pocket. We couldn't be happier! You did a fantastic job."


So, there you have it. Thanks for reading. If we can answer any questions, please give our office a call. We are here to help you. It's why we do what we do!
