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 home inspection type is the right one for you, contact me.
The three home inspections listed here are most typically chosen by home buyers. The choice of which home inspection is usually determined by the clients budget, age of home, access to the internet, and the clients desire to totally understand the home they are purchasing. They are also suitable for investors in need of a general property inspection rather than a more in depth evaluation.
More discriminating clients should consider my Premium or Technical Inspections.
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" home inspection is available only to past Clients who have closed escrow on the properties originally inspected. The original home inspection, however, must have been a BASIC, STANDARD, PREMIUM, or TECH home inspection. It is "basic check list inspection" that is included free with the PREMIUM and TECHNICAL HOME INSPECTION. It is meant to detect problems that might be occurring under the new ownership.

PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION
My PRE-LISTNG home inspection is a specialized inspection available only to Sellers since it is a pre-listing home 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 home 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 home 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 home inspection which will tell them the common and descriptive stuff, as well as any major problems that occurred since the date of the PRE-LISTING 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 PRE-LISTING home 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 home 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 home inspection discovered. Keep in mind that with no licensing for, or regulating of, home inspectors in the State of Georgia, there can be a significant difference between two home 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 PRE-LISTING home inspection report, or the buyer’s home inspection report, simply contact me . I’m on your side and will be fighting for you.

RENTER HOME INSPECTION
My RENTER home 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 home inspection to document the problems. The RENTER home inspection does not meet legal requirements or standards of practice of various trade associations. It is a specialized home inspection for a very specific purpose.
If you have any questions, simply contact me to discuss them.
