                          CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES


Although I offer many different choices for my Clients, it is important that you choose wisely. I could easily offer only one inspection type like 95% of property inspectors throughout the nation do and make a lot of money doing it. However, I’m here to help you meet your needs and goals in buying property, for whatever reason you are buying it. So if you have any questions about which inspection type is the right one for you, contact me.

The Maintenance, Listing, and Tenent Inspections are designed with the home owner or tenant in mind.It is intended to assure them that the property they are occupying is not developing any new concerns and to learn what steps can be taken to avoid future problems.


PRICES
I change prices monthly in response to third-party conditions over which I have no control (such as gas prices, insurance premiums, etc.). I cover all of Atlanta and will go anywhere to work for my Clients. Consequently, prices will be higher in outlying areas to account for drive time and gas. Contact me for a firm price that is good for 30 days.

ONE YEAR BUILDERS WARRANTY OR MAINTENANCE

My "ONE YEAR BUILDERS WARRANTY or MAINTENANCE" inspection is available only to past Clients who have closed escrow on the properties originally inspected. The original inspection, however, must have been a BASIC, STANDARD, PREMIUM, or TECH inspection. It is "basic check list inspection" that is included free with the PREMIUM and TECH inspections. It is meant to detect problems that might be occurring under the new ownership.

PRE-LISTING INSPECTION

My PRE-LISTNG inspection is a specialized inspection available only to Sellers since it is a pre-listing inspection. It includes only major defects. It does not include (1) my appliance package, (2) recall and safety concern research on appliances and equipment, or (3) cosmetic damage and “minor” defects (note that cosmetic damage and “minor” defects are determined solely by me and may differ from your opinion or from the opinions of third parties).

The PRE-LISTING inspection does not meet legal requirements or standards of practice of various trade associations, because I note only major defects and do not describe common information or descriptive information about the structure. For example, type of foundation, type of roof, type of siding, etc., is not included unless the descriptive information in and of itself could indicate a problem, such as cast iron drain pipes, knob & tube electrical wiring, wood shingles, etc.

The reasoning behind this inspection is that the sellers either know about the common or descriptive stuff or doesn’t care since they are selling the house. And the buyers will (hopefully) get their own inspection which will tell them the common and descriptive stuff, as well as any major problems that occurred since the date of the LIST inspection. Cosmetic damage and “minor” defects will not be listed; note that cosmetic damage and “minor” defects are determined solely by me and may differ from your opinion or from the opinions of third parties.

The LIST inspection meets all general requirements for correcting or disclosing major defects concerning the structure. Note that major defects listed are those that were present or visible at the time of the inspection. I cannot, and shall not, take responsibility for something that has failed since the inspection, for damage caused by someone doing repairs, for the quality of repairs, or for damage caused by those living on the property in the course of daily life. However, I will be there with the sellers until the house is sold in order to address problems that the buyer’s property inspection discovered. Keep in mind that with no licensing for, or regulating of, property inspectors in the State of Georgia, there can be a significant difference between two property inspection reports by two separate companies. And while I hope that being a member of a trade association will help with that concern, there are, as of January 2007, at least seven national trade associations for property inspectors (NACHI, ASHI, SPREI, NAHI, AAHI, HIF, FREA), as well as a state trade association in most states. (GAHI for Georgia).

If you have any questions about the LIST inspection report, or the buyer’s property inspection report, simply contact me . I’m on your side and will be fighting for you.

RENTER

My RENTER inspection is available only to renters, hence the name. It is used mainly to document the condition of the property at the time of move-in, thence avoiding any conflicts at the time of move-out. However, some renters having problems with their landlords also choose a RENTER inspection to document the problems.  The RENTER inspection does not meet legal requirements or standards of practice of various trade associations. It is a specialized inspection for a very specific purpose.


If you have any questions, simply contact me to discuss them.
