Home Inspection Services

Buying a home is a significant investment. To ensure you’re making a sound decision, one of the most crucial steps is a comprehensive home inspection.

There are a few questions to ask yourself in determining the right answer. How much can I afford to lose if the home isn’t as great as I hoped it was? Can I afford to fix major problems? Do I have $20,000 to $50,000 for unexpected major issues? Will I be losing money on the home if I do fix things? Should everyone be safe in this home? While it’s possible to find a home without major issues, a home inspection can provide peace of mind and help you avoid costly repairs or unexpected problems down the line.

On the flip side, what does a home inspection cost to manage my risks? Home inspections start at around $400. You want and need the best home inspection you can afford! Not the cheapest.

Before you have a home inspection, you and your realtor (i’ll get to that), your family and friends have a perceived idea of value based on a perception of condition. If the actual condition is what you thought, great! But, what if it’s not? Your inspection report is going to give you and your realtor the tools you need to negotiate based on the actual condition. I can’t count how many times I’m told it’s great, it’s got a new roof, furnace… only to learn that it wasn’t, it hasn’t…  

Not to digress, there are 2 kinds of Realtors, and if your Realtor is recommending Smart Choice Inspection Company, you have the very best kind of Realtor. Why? Because many Realtors don’t and won’t recommend Smart Choice Inspection Company because they think a thorough inspection may upset “their deal”. So, you be the judge of who will best represent your interests. Smart Choice Inspection Company represents your interests which doesn’t always line up with your realtors interests.

If you’re looking for the cheapest home inspection (I’ve no desire to be that inspector) you could be heading for a disaster once you own the home. Ask me how many times I’ve been asked, “why didn’t my inspector find that?!”

While cost is a factor, choosing the cheapest home inspector can be a false economy. A thorough inspection can uncover potential problems that could lead to much more expensive repairs later on. It might be the cheap car which unexpectedly stopped running. Or, the same folks that booked that cheap hotel – the dirty one that smelled funny with views of a parking garage. I don’t know of anytime that cheapest ever lived up to the expectations.

The simple truth is that low-cost providers often cut services where you don’t always see it. And, in the world of home inspections – what you didn’t see before you bought the home could cost you tens of thousands afterwards.

Many of the low-cost providers are in-and-out of the home quickly. Supposedly providing the same level of inspection but in a fraction of the time it should take if they are inspecting the home to the standard, it should be inspected.
