home inspections
Pre-purchase house assessments
Home inspections are professional evaluations of a property's condition, typically conducted before a real estate transaction closes.
An inspector examines the structure, systems, and components of a house—roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC—and produces a report detailing any defects or concerns.
Buyers use the findings to negotiate repairs or price adjustments, or to walk away from a deal.
